Answer 1

Have you set your view controller's hidesBottomBarWhenPushed property to YES? You need to set this in your initWithNibName:bundle: or initWithCoder: method. When it gets pushed to the nav controller, this should hide the tab bar and make the content view extend down to the bottom.

Put the code in a prepare for segue like this, works perfectly for me:

- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
if ([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:@"ViewPhoto"]) {

    ImageView *vc = [segue destinationViewController];

    NSInteger selectedIndex = [[self.tableView indexPathForSelectedRow] row];

        NSString *Title = [photoNames objectAtIndex:selectedIndex];
        [vc setSelectedTitle:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", Title]];

        vc.hidesBottomBarWhenPushed = YES;

        }
    }

If the UITabBarController is pushed by a rootViewController (navigationController). You can try the following:

First hide the status Bar / Tab Bar;

[self.navigationController pushViewController:aBlankViewController animated:NO];
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:NO];

You should be able to reclaim the white space, though the screen will shock during the adjustment...
