Smartphone displays are rarely the same aspect ratio as YouTube videos. That leaves black bars on the sides. You can pinch-to-zoom to fill the screen, but if you are always doing that, you might as well make it default. Let’s explore how to setup viewing a YouTube video in full screen.
This is is for the iPhone, iPad, and Android. Screenshots are from iPhone XR.

First, open the YouTube app on your iPhone, iPad, or Android device. Now, tap your profile icon in the top-right-hand corner. Refer to below image:

Next, tap Settings from the menu. See below image:

Now, go to the General section. See following image:

Next, toggle the switch for Zoom to fill screen to ON. Refer to below image:

Now, you will no longer need to zoom in on every YouTube video to take up the entire screen.
