What happened?

I've only recently started using audiobookshelf, and it's amazing, one thing I have noticed is that using the android app it appears that the app is full screen, but on my pixel 8 (android 16) the top status bar is still visible, so it ends up showing both at and making it difficult to click the setting buttons etc.

I am using the latest docker server, and using the latest version on android : 0.9.81-beta (from Play store)
Maybe I've set a setting wrong, I also checked the issues log, but could not see anyone mentioning this.

Happy to share other information if needed.
Thanks

What did you expect to happen?

I would appreciate It if there was a setting changed to stop the status bar being merged with the top of the app

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Have pixel 8
  2. Load android audiobookshelf

Audiobookshelf version

V2.25.1

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker

What OS is your Audiobookshelf server hosted from?

Linux

If the issue is being seen in the UI, what browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Other (list in "Additional Notes" box)

Logs

N/A. This is a UI bug

Additional Notes

android : 0.9.81-beta (from Play store)

This is the server repository. This has already been fixed for the next release.
