It looks like the UI and the inflight map aren´t optimized for 20:9 aspect ratio devices anymore. Before 21.6 they were. Below are some screens to show the difference (just look at the red markings).
Seems to be the same for apple devices too. Probably a part of the “minor UI changes to begin an ongoing series of improvements” that are in the release notes if I had to guess
We’ve made some improvements for devices with rounded corners, waterfall displays (curved edge displays), notches and pinhole cameras on Android. There is a bit more padding than you may be used to, but this should hopefully be a more comfortable usage experience for the time being.
Android 12 will give us some more data to help us optimise this further, and we’ll keep improving this as part of our ongoing UI work. Thanks for the feedback though :)
Alright then, the changes of the UI I will get used to with the time, even tho I would have prefered a map covering the whole screen, without those gaps at the sides and at the top.
Firstly the main reason for this change is to avoid the camera from blocking part of the UI on some devices. For example, on the pixel 5 the green checkmark is almost completely blocked by the camera.
Legitimate question though: can IF make the margin adjustable like Minecraft does? So don’t get this extra margin unnecessarily?
