iPadOS 16.1 - webpages scalling in default display zoom

I’m using iPad Pro (11-inch) (2nd generation) and updated it to iPadOS 16.1 (20B82). After update, many webpages are incorrectly displayed in Safari in vertical view. In older OS, webpages correctly fitted the screen’s width. After update, some pages are “zoomed in”, don’t fit the screen’s width and I must swipe left/right to scroll page horizontally. As a workaround, enabling “Display & Brightness -> Display Zoom -> More Space” fixes how webpages are displayed in Safari (fit screen in vertical view), but this scales the whole OS and I don’t want to do it. Anybody having the same issue?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 16

Hi packie11,


Does this happen with a specific website or does it happen with multiple? Since noticing this, has your Safari history been cleared out? If not:


  1. Go to Settings > Safari
  2. Tap on Clear History and Website Data
  3. Tap Clear History and Website Data again to confirm

You can also close the Safari app and restart your iPad since that can help when we experience unexpected issues with our devices.

Hope that helps!
