Facebook Photography Page - Images Won't Rotate to Landscape

[Steven001]

Hi folks,

I'm hoping someone could help me, I have a Photography Facebook Page and generally upload the images to the timeline with a short description of the image. For some reason, none of the images auto-rotate on my Facebook app. I've also checked my partners Facebook app and they don't rotate on hers either. My phone settings are fine and other images on Facebook rotate fine, just not the ones on my page.

Has anyone had this problem before?


Thanks

OK, 70 views and no responses. Maybe you're asking the wrong question, or asking the question in the wrong way.

So let's try refining it.

Firstly, what do you mean by 'auto-rotate'? Please describe the behaviour as accurately as you can. Please also describe the circumstances in which you would expect to observe it, and those in which you would expect not to observe it.

Secondly, please provide links to photos which do and don't display the expected behaviour, so we can see for ourselves what the issue is.

Works fine here. All photos rotate on the Facebook app.

Are you talking about when viewing photos using a mobile app on a tablet/phone, if so i have experienced this also

When i upload photos to my personal FB Profile page they auto rotate fine when the phone/tablet is rotated, however when uploaded to my FB Photography page, they do not, i suspect it's something to do with the app itself and how it treats FB pages differently to FB Profiles

But it is highly annoying

Oh yes, and this is on Android, no fruity phones here

I didn't realise anyone had replied to this thread sorry for not replying quicker.

Hi Stewart, what I mean is when viewing any image on my photography Facebook page at full size (holding my phone in normal portait mode) the image appears like this:



When I rotate my phone to landscape mode, normally you would expect the image to rotate with the phone and go into "full screen" mode, i.e covering thr whole screen with no border. It has nothing to do with the screen rotation on my phone because it works as it should on other FB pages and on my own personal page.

Works fine here. All photos rotate on the Facebook app.

They all work fine on your app? I wonder if it has something to do with the app itself then. I tried it on my girlfriends phone and they don't rotate on her phone either (but again normal images do).

Yes I'm talking about when viewing on my phone which is a Galaxy S5 and my girlfriends S6. I haven't been able to test it on any other make/model of phone.

The issue you describe is exactly what I'm experiencing. It's annoying because the images don't have the same impact because they appear much smaller.
