Problem with Facebook Live on iPhone SE 2nd generation

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.

Needs adjustments to algorithms and user support

I loved Facebook Marketplace, but now it has been “upgraded” and has so many glitches! No user support either. How can you not have a category to list Garage Sale, but you have a category for search of Garage Sale? That makes no sense! How does anyone get their ad listed under garage sale? Also, adding a date range for garage sale listings (and frankly for all listings) would help so much. I can’t tell you how many times I inquire on something only to be told the garage sale was months ago, or the item sold and they forgot to take the ad down. If you had an expiration date, that would be helpful to everyone. No customer support is huge. People get flagged for listing a Seagull statue because it is against community standards to sell animals! It is not an animal, it is a cement statue! These bans or rejections need a real person to review and help customers. If someone does break a standard, please tell them exactly what is wrong, not some obscure “bot” response. Also, the new avatar is horrible! The old one that was a “comic” version was much better. If we wanted a realistic avatar we would use a photograph! Please integrate a group of real end users in to your project team for upgrades or enhancements. I don’t know what Project Manager is running your upgrades, but they sure can’t be PMP certified because they don’t follow any of the standard project rules!

The Ban, and loads of other issues.

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
