Facebook 12+

I have updated to the latest iPhone software, 17.0.2, but I still have this issue. With the recent Facebook app update I am no longer able to start the video using the “Go Live” button on the screen in landscape (as opposed to portrait) for Facebook Live videos. To share the whole story, it did work once, but then the video failed after a minute due to wi-fi signal issues. Before and after that tiny success, the video does not start in landscape mode. It does start with no difficulty in portrait mode, but none of the videos I wish to create and share are in that mode. I have used the landscape mode for years now, with no difficulties like this. Something has been changed, and it is not good for the user of the app. I make multiple videos per week, all in landscape mode. My entire set up for publishing videos, including my tripod, is based on publishing in this mode.



If this was an intentional change, it is not appreciated. It is only taking away something which people use and want. It is not an improvement whatsoever. If it was accidental due to unexpected results, it needs to be fixed. Either way, please fix this issue. It may be just with iPhone SE 2nd generation devices. I am seeing other people with possibly other iPhone who do not have this issue.

I can't believe you guys, it's annoying to not tag my favorite person or celebrities cause their name is all the way at the top where I can barely see who shows up even when I type their name and it pops up it always ends up at the top where I can't see it it's almost like you guys shrunk the typing system on Facebook it's annoying like so irritating and I am trying to tag my favorite person I've complained about this situation once but I guess you guys don't care please put back to the way the system was before cause I want to tag my favorite people in the comments when I mentioned them cause I have to uninstall this app just type their name and use the old version then when I remove the app by pushing upward on my iPhone it the mentions that I can't see or the posts I can't see take up half of my screen!!!!! You guys are starting to be like another platform that I used to be on where you barely had any space to see who you're tagging in the comments section it's horrible the way it's set up!! I should've never updated to the newest version cause now I can't tag my favorite DJ (celebrity) or any specific friend I want to mention in a comment!!! It pulls up just whatever it wants!!!!!!!!!!! Fix it or I'm gonna complain about it again I'm not even going to give a 5 star review cause it's so bad that it's reminded me of another platform!!! ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻

Firstly, to get the big one out of the way. Several or at least one of “Meta’s” owners has been less than civil to say the least when it comes to having competition in the social media scene, you know like everyone else does whilst owning a business or platform. Rather than being original or not flat-out selling everyone’s personal information to stay on top, they do everything they can to remove their competitors from the equation entirely. We know what they’re doing, they know that we know, and it’s not subtle.

On top of all of that, I disliked Facebook and Meta before all of this anyways. Not only had they been proven to have sold everyone’s information on several occasions, but the entire platform is riddled with 40+ year olds who get upset when they see someone else enjoying their life, or existence for that matter. You know who i’m talking about (i’m not saying it’s everyone, but it is absolutely most of the app’s users). The UI is extremely counterintuitive, designed to purposely make anything that could result in their users not making Meta every penny they can get, extremely difficult to do (deleting your account for example, which has taken me more than half an hour on some occasions due to their lack of user support)

There are a lot more issues to talk about with this app, but these are the ones that speak to me the most and i have encountered personally
