Android 4.4 Immersive Mode - what is it?

With Android 4.4 several new features were released, as well as the immersive mode. We will explain to you exactly what it is.

Android 4.4: What can Immersive Mode do?

• Thanks to the new immersive mode of Android 4.4, apps can now fill the entire screen.
• App developers can now design their apps so that the last pixel is used for the display.
• Previously, the status bar was always displayed at the top and the navigation buttons were usually still displayed at the bottom. These are hidden in most apps, but can also be made visible again with a little trick.
• If you simply swipe into the screen from above or below the display, both the status bar and the navigation buttons reappear.
