To get more room for writing, you can let the header and the capture bar fade away while you read or write.

Turn it on

  1. Go to Settings → Interface.
  2. Turn on Auto-hide header, Auto-hide controls, or both.
  3. Set Auto-hide delay. This slider appears once either option is on.

Tap anywhere on the screen to show them again.
