    I have 4 UI elements (slider, button, button, text) and I am trying to make them use the width of the screen. Currently they just anchor to the centre and leave space when I go from iphone 5 to ipad in view.

    Could someone give me some tips on to make this stretch?

    Put them in an empty game object, anchor the empty game object to the sides of the screen, put "Horizontal Layout Group" component on the empty game object and then on each element inside put "Layout Element" component. Then change spacing, padding and other setting accordingly.

    Wouldn't that only work if they were the same size?

    Was actually pretty simple in the end. Just put the anchor points to the corners of each object so they were %'s
