Use the whole outer display in Safari. When your iPhone Duo is folded, Safari keeps its controls in a strip along the side of the outer display, and web pages stop short of them. OutSpan widens pages into that space, so articles, images, and everyday browsing fill the screen. It does the same on the inner screen when Safari shares it with another app. Choose Wide to expand the page layout, or Off to restore the website's original layout. Your choice is remembered across websites, tabs, reloads, and Safari restarts. • Pages use the full width of the outer display • Works in Split View on the inner screen • Optional blur behind Safari's controls, with adjustable strength • Simple Wide and Off controls in Safari's page menu • One choice that follows you as you browse • No account and no tracking. Everything runs on your iPhone • A built-in guide to turn on the extension SPLIT VIEW Open your iPhone Duo and put Safari beside another app. Safari keeps its controls on the outer edge of its half of the screen, and OutSpan widens pages beneath them. The first time, choose which side Safari's controls are on in the OutSpan menu. Your choice is remembered. When Safari has the inner screen to itself, it shows its controls along the top, and pages already use the full width. FREE TRIAL AND UNLOCK Off is always free. Wide is free for 3 days from the moment you first turn it on. After that, Wide requires Full Unlock, a one-time in-app purchase. There is no subscription. REQUIREMENTS Requires iPhone Duo. On other iPhone models, Safari already uses the full screen width, so OutSpan has nothing to change. Turn on the extension in Settings > Apps > Safari > Extensions, and allow it on the websites you want to widen. Most websites widen cleanly. A few with unusual layouts may not, and Off restores them instantly. Safari's side controls stay on top of the widened page.

Wide Web is a Safari extension for iPhone Duo. On the outer display, the side controls sit on the right edge of the screen. Wide Web lets the page continue underneath them. Color, photos, and backgrounds fill that space. Text and the buttons in the top bar stop before the camera, so they stay easy to tap. Turn it on from the page menu in Safari, then Manage Extensions. Allow it on the sites you want. It only runs on the Duo’s outer display.
