Q: new facebook app for iphone screen not rotating to landscape

Hello,

Loaded the new FB app on my iphone and now it won't rotate to landscape.  I need it to rotate so I can type, to difficult for me the other way.  How can I change it back or is there a fix?

Need it asap, it's driving me crazy....

    No, it doesn't rotate anymore. Nothing to be done about that.

     

    I use an app called "Drafts" for doing a lot of my typing. It allows you to post to Twitter, FB, save to the Clipboard and numerous other locations. I use it instead of typing in portrait mode in apps such as Path and Facebook.

    Oh no, really there's no change or fix for it???  Noooooooo, a lot, and I mean a lot of people out there in cyberland are pretty upset about it, including me.  We should have a choice to go back to the old app then.  I wonder if that's a possiblity.  It's just to difficult for me to type on the tiny screen unless it's in landscape. 

     

    Thanks for your advice and tips, appreciate it.
