Obsidian Mobile version: v1.4.1

I have a phone that has a screen size nearly that of a mini tablet, and would like to be able to opt in to using the tablet interface that is offered for such devices as the iPad.

This doesn’t work on my average size phone, but what if you hold the phone in landscape (to possibly trigger a width-based breakpoint) and then restart Obsidian (to reload the interface at the wider width)?

Just tried it; it does nothing. Thanks for the suggestion though!

You only have Android checked, but it would be useful on my max-sized iPhone, too. :wink:

I have a max iPhone and some apps do that, but not Obsidian.

One way to trick the app into thinking you’re on a tablet could be to change the screen dpi with developer settings. That’s what I did for Notion and OneNote (because OneNote’s mobile interface is terrible).

I got a Tasker thing going when I need the tablet interface, but it’s funky and takes a second to switch DPI.
