# Control the Splash Screen

Splash screen is displayed while waiting for the `index.html` page to load. You can manually hide the splash screen by using JavaScript code `navigator.splashscreen.hide()` or by setting in Monaca Cloud IDE.

Here are how to hide the splash screen manually in Monaca Cloud IDE:

## Settings for Android

1. From Monaca Cloud IDE menu, go to `Configure → App Settings for Android`.
2. Scroll to `Splash Files`. In order to hide (disable) the splash screen, you can set the display time to `0`.
3. Then, save your settings.

## Settings for iOS

1. From Monaca Cloud IDE menu, go to `Configure → App Settings for iOS`.
2. Scroll to `Splash Screen`. In order to hide the splash screen, you have two options here such as `Hide Automatically` and `Hide by JavaScript`. If you choose `Hide by JavaScript`, you will need to use `navigator.splashscreen.hide()` function in your JavaScript file.
3. Then, save your settings.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://en.docs.monaca.io/sampleapp/tips/splashscreen.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
