I read recently that facebookm got rid of the rotate option for their apps on windows platform.

As a suggestion, does rotating the scdreen on the phone change this on the screen?

No it does not rotate on the phone.

Hi guys,

I have the same problem but it does not seem that it's a common problem, otherwise I would have found quite a lot of threads on the forum I guess. Facebook and Facebook messenger, when used on Continuum, show in a kind of portrait mode, just as shown in the screenshot above. It's totally unusable.

Do they work as expected for other people? I'm on a Lumia 950 on the anniversary update (insider production ring).

Have same issue, useless.

 

[rory753]

Yep, same problem

Yep, same problem

Yes FB stopped allowing Portrait mode, on both Messenger And FB App as well. totally useless on Continuum.

Problem is, there is a very small number of people using the Messenger app on Windows Phone compared to other platforms. The number of Messenger users accessing the app through Continuum is most likely a very, very small number on top of that. Not a huge incentive for Facebook to even worry about the issue, unfortunately.

totally useless on Continuum.

as a work around, edge still works, and you can get to the same stuff there and at least see it/interact with it. what's annoying is all facebook has to do is disable the option to allow it to "work" in continuum, so it greys out.

Problem is...

I understand what you're saying, but to put a broken feature in an app is annoying when they could just disable it.

Yeah. I agree. It's definitely a dumbfounded decision on their part. Maybe the app will get a few tweaks if HP's phone takes off in the enterprise market, since it relies on the continuum feature pretty heavily.

try facebook messenger Beta, it works just fine on continuum.

but if you are on continuum, I personally just use the browser for facebook stuff instead.
