How to enable iPad View in BGMI
Short answer: connect Shizuku, open the iPad View screen in your GFX tool, switch Floating Control on and apply the resolution change. You gain peripheral vision and lose clarity on distant targets - everything is drawn smaller, so it's a trade rather than a straight upgrade.
What iPad View actually is
The name is misleading, and it's worth clearing up before you try it.
It has nothing to do with Apple hardware. It refers to a tablet-shaped aspect ratio: tablets are closer to 4:3 than a phone's tall, narrow 20:9. When a game renders at that squarer ratio, more of the world fits horizontally in the frame.
The practical effect is a wider field of view. You see more to your left and right at any moment - which in a battle royale means spotting someone flanking you a beat earlier. That's the entire appeal.
Because this changes the rendering resolution rather than modifying the game, it's the same mechanism as any other resolution change - just applied deliberately.
The trade-offs, up front
This isn't a free upgrade, and most guides don't mention the costs:
- Everything looks smaller. Fitting more world into the same panel means each element is drawn smaller. Distant enemies become harder to see, not easier - you gain peripheral awareness and lose long-range clarity.
- The UI can shift. Buttons may land in different positions, and on some configurations parts of the interface sit awkwardly.
- It takes adjustment. Your muscle memory for where things sit on screen is calibrated to your normal ratio. Expect a few rough matches.
- It applies system-wide while active. You're changing the display resolution, so other apps see it too until you change it back.
How to enable it
- Connect Shizuku first Changing display resolution needs elevated permissions, so the bridge has to be active before anything works. See the Shizuku setup guide if the header isn't showing ACTIVE.
- Open the iPad View screen In 90 FPS + 120 FPS, go to the iPad View section. It explains that you're changing screen resolution, and offers a tutorial link.
- Turn on Floating Control Under Control System, set Floating Control to ON. This is the part worth doing - it gives you an on-screen overlay that adjusts the resolution while you're in a match, instead of forcing you to quit out to change it. Android will ask for the "display over other apps" permission; grant it.
- Apply the resolution change Set the resolution from the app. The screen will flicker briefly as it re-applies.
- Launch the game and check the result Drop into training mode rather than a live match. Look at how much you can see horizontally and how legible distant players are. This is the comparison that matters.
- Fine-tune with the floating seek bar With Floating Control on, adjust the resolution live until the balance between width and clarity works for you. Small adjustments - the useful range is narrower than you'd expect.
- Know how to undo it Set the resolution back through the app when you're done. If anything goes wrong and the screen is unusable, a reboot restores the default resolution.
Tips
- Test in training mode, not ranked. Learning a new field of view during a ranked match is a good way to lose rank.
- Give it a week. The first sessions feel wrong purely because the layout changed. Judge it after your muscle memory catches up.
- Reconsider your sensitivity. A wider view changes how far a swipe turns you. Small sensitivity adjustments usually follow.
- Pair it with a crosshair overlay. A fixed reference point helps while your sense of screen centre recalibrates.
- Watch the frame rate. Some resolutions are cheaper to render than others. If your frame rate drops after enabling it, that's the cause - check against the lag diagnosis steps.
Common mistakes
- Expecting it to make enemies easier to see. It does the opposite at range. The gain is peripheral, not long-distance.
- Skipping Floating Control, then having to quit the game every time you want to adjust anything.
- Going too extreme. A large resolution change makes the UI unusable. Move in small steps.
- Forgetting to change it back, then wondering why every other app on the phone looks odd.
- Trying it without Shizuku connected. Nothing will happen.
Is it worth using?
It depends on how you play. If you take a lot of close and mid-range fights in buildings and compounds, the extra peripheral awareness is a genuine advantage. If you play patiently at long range, the loss of clarity on distant targets probably costs you more than the width gains.
The only way to know is to try it - which is easy enough, since the floating control makes it adjustable and a reboot always restores the default.
In 90 FPS + 120 FPS by TQtech, iPad View sits alongside the frame-rate unlock, the GFX profiles, the booster and a customisable crosshair overlay - so if you're setting up a competitive configuration, the pieces are all in one app.

Frequently asked questions
What is iPad View in BGMI?
A rendering resolution closer to a tablet's squarer aspect ratio, which fits more of the world into the frame horizontally. It has nothing to do with Apple devices - the name refers to the shape of the view.
Does iPad View give an unfair advantage?
It's a trade, not a straight upgrade: you gain peripheral awareness and lose clarity on distant targets, since everything is drawn smaller. Many players try it and go back.
Do I need root for iPad View?
No, but you do need Shizuku connected, because changing display resolution requires elevated permissions that a normal app doesn't have.
How do I turn iPad View off?
Set the resolution back through the app. If the screen becomes unusable at any point, rebooting the phone restores the default resolution.
Will iPad View reduce my frame rate?
It can, since you're changing how much the GPU renders. If your frame rate drops after enabling it, either reduce the resolution change or drop a graphics tier.
