Abstract

Methods for entering a full screen content viewing interface of an application are provided. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a request to provide content for display within a viewing region of an application and receiving a single touch input within the viewing region. The method also includes determining whether at least a portion of the content within the viewing region is obscured by a user interface element. When at least a portion of the content within the viewing region is obscured by the user interface element, the method includes removing the user interface element from the application. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.
