Currently using the latest Gmail App (updated 2nd May) and latest version of iOS on an iPad. Yesterday, when opening a compose screen, I noticed that rather than being full-screen, as had previously been the case, it was now in a much smaller pop-up window. There is no obvious way to revert to full screen, and hours spent on-line looking for a solution have failed to find an answer.

Mrs M's iPad (different model, but running the latest software) was showing a full screen when I initially noticed the issue, but now also has the smaller window.

Does anyone know if this is a "feature" of the latest iOS Gmail App, or if there is a way to revert to full-screen when composing a new or reply email?

Thanks for reading. Any guidance appreciated as it's driving me nuts.

It’s the same on my ipad. I’ve no idea why too!
On iPhone it fills the screen

Many thanks for your response. Good to know that I'm not the only one and that this is probably a result of the last update.

I've sent feedback to Gmail. It would be nice if they reverted to full screen for the next update.

Mine the same- smaller pop up for both new emails and replies- I honestly can’t remember it be different but could well be wrong
