Power Apps Tip: Hide The Navigation Bar In Play Mode Posted by - Matthew Devaney on - August 14, 2022 19 Comments

Hide the Power Apps navigation bar in play mode by adding hidenavbar=true to the end of the app’s URL. I recommend you do this when providing users with a link to any canvas app so it displays as large as possible on the screen. Here’s a quick summary of how this tip works. Before Hiding The Power Apps Navigation Bar

To hide the Power Apps navigation bar open an app in play mode. At the top we see a purple navigation bar. This is what we are going to remove.

Copy the app’s play URL from the web browser’s address bar. We will change this URL to disable the navigation bar.

This is how the app looks after hiding the navigation bar.

To do this, paste the app’s play URL into the web browser’s address bar and type &hidenavbar=true at the end. It’s just that simple.
