How FGO should look with wide-screen update

JP, CN, KR, NA: Should fill the entire screen including the notch.
TW: Turn ON More options/Advanced/Ignore notch calculation if FGO doesn't leave the notch area black.

Only use Ignore Notch on TW servers, otherwise it has no effect.

There should be no black bars on the screen. If there are, switch your phone from Gesture Navigation to 3-button navigation.

FGO looks different on my phone

CASE 1: Borders around FGO are black

On some devices like OnePlus, the black bars on the sides are caused by gesture navigation. See CASE 2 for the solution.

If FGO is centred on the screen, even if the borders are black, then it might work as it is. If this is case and your phone has a notch, turn ON 'Ignore Notch calculation'.

Otherwise, you'll have to make FGO a full-screen app.
Only if that doesn't work, check if you can make FGA full-screen too.

For example, this won't work:

Fullscreen settings per manufacturer:

Samsung Huawei
  • Open Settings app
  • Search for and select Full screen apps
  • Turn ON the switch for FGO
  • Open Settings app
  • Go to Display & brightness > More display settings > Full-Screen Display
  • Turn ON the switch for FGO

CASE 2: Your phone has borders around FGO even at the bottom of screen

LGv60 Google Pixel 4L

The black border are for gesture navigation.

To get rid of them:

  • Go to Settings > System > Gestures > System Navigation.
  • Change to 3-button navigation.

CASE 3: Your phone is Android 7 or 8 and has a notch

Notch detection is only possible on Android 9 and above. Either update your phone or find a way to disable notch in your phone's settings.
