IOS Screen resizing /EXACT FIT not working as before

[panagiotis merakos]

Hello Lagi,

In the iPhone 8 Plus device, could you check in Settings -> Display and
Brightness and then scroll down and in the "Display Zoom" section, does it
say "Standard" or "Zoomed" ?

If it says Zoomed, then the stack will scale as if it was on an iPhone 8.
Changing this to Standard will cause the stack to scale as before.

Kind regards,
Panos
