My wife and I have identical iPads running OS 16.4.1 and, for a while now, links in email are displayed as a narrow band about 1/3 of the screen instead of full screen. I found the following Apple link which appears to have resolved the issue on my iPad (using the "Touch and Hold option) but not my wife's.

How to open a center window on your iPad
Open an app that supports center window, such as Mail or Notes.
Touch and hold an individual email, note, or other item from the app's list.
Tap Open in New Window in the menu that appears.
To close the center window, tap Done or Close. You can also tap the Multitasking button, then tap one of the buttons to change the center window to full screen, Split View, or Slide Over.


The second option "You can also tap the Multitasking button, then tap one of the buttons to change the center window to full screen, Split View, or Slide Over" does not appear with the multitasking button, on either of our iPads. I did a reset of my wife's iPad but that didn't help.
