Hide Android status bar in landscape mode

When I view my photos in landscape mode, the status bar on the top of the phone's display won't go away. Is there a way to hide it?

    Hey there Droppa, thanks for posting on our Community and happy Monday!

     

    I haven't found a way to hide the phone's status bar when I preview my photos in the Dropbox mobile app, but this is persistent on both landscape mode and portrait mode as well.

     

    Could you maybe send us a screenshot of how it looks on your end so that we can have a visual too?

     

    Thanks!

    Thank you for checking it out. It does indeed look like it's persistent in both portrait and landscape mode.

     

    Please see my two screenshots that shows the difference between Dropbox and a different viewer.

     

    Best regards,
