How can I set the viewing format of the Stocks App from vertical back to Horizontal?
The Stocks app viewing format in iOS 11 seems to have a bug. The view used to be horizontal before updating to iOS 11.
Before... Symbol Price Change
After update...
Symbol
Price
Change
I did some more testing. It appears that the stock symbol length isn't being accounted for correctly. I noticed that the NASDAQ and S&P 500 symbols display at a slightly small font size than everything else when my list is one line per company.
My own list displays correctly even when using a text size setting one notch below the largest.
If I add a long symbol such as BTCUSD=X to my stock list, at first the symbol's font is small to fit the space.
However, after closing and restarting the Stocks app, the font size for BTCUSD=X is no longer smaller and I get the line wrap problem.
Hope this info helps the developer.
I was having this issue too for a week till I decided to start debugging it
Couple points:
1. Adjust text size from setting->accessibility->text font will help in general
2. In my case, even I adjusted to smallest font it is still showing cascaded lines, looking deeper I found one of my stock ticker is having unusual long name "2474.tw XXXXX<In Chinese>"(This is a Taiwan foreign stock). By removing that ticker, viola, all solved! Now I get to keep large font with one line stock ticker + price.
3. So check your tickers, make sure you don't have tickers that have longer than 5 letters. That will push the app over to cascaded display mode.
Hope this helps!
SORRY - this is in response to Eric Scheuermann. I had the same problem. I deleted the stocks app and reinstalled from App Store. I got a message that my data would be deleted if I deleted the app but when I restored the app, all my data was there.
Ridiculous that Apple can’t fix such a simple problem in the rev updates that have come out. My solution: Abandon Apple Stock app altogether - plenty of others out there - I.e., Yahoo Finance is pretty slick and has no screw ups under new IOS - abandon the Apple Stock app and they will fix it - they don’t want to lose eyes on their app and associated ad revenue - do it !!
Someone before pointed out the best answer it worked for me: reduce the font size of the stocks with more than five characters in the ticker symbol, now the stop quotes are showing normal and you could increase the font size.
Somewhat defeats the object of adding stocks you want to follow.
I can adjust the text size to bring it back to a single line per stock, but this makes everything else unreadable, unless I get a magnifying glass out.
It is still not good as now all the text on my phone is small. I need it larger, as I used to have before the last update, so I can easily read emails etc
It seems to have messed up my stock app which was all fine before the update
SO APPLE PLEASE FIX
So Apple perhaps large text didn’t affect your stocks app before the update. If you could fix it so I can have my larger text, as I had before, to assist me in reading emails then I will be happy. It seems the update has a bug for Stocks
Thank you so much for the solution to delete and reinstall. I have wasted so much time trying to figure out how to change the page view. Your suggestion worked perfectly. When in doubt go for the simple fix!
It looks like this now. Same on the widgets page. I'm on an iPhone 6.
I have 6S. I changed font back to normal size, and the problem didn't go away! I also restarted ios after that font size change, just in case. No change.
You really should try the User Guide some time. It's absolutely amazing the information that you'll find there.
Google is not exactly a great source for accurate information.
It is as if the font has changed, and the three items don't fit on a line any more , and now wrap around, wasting lots of space.
Have the same issue and cannot find a facility to edit preferences. This format makes it hard to view a list of stocks at a glance.
Mine looks exactly like it did prior to IOS-11. No clue what you are talking about.
It has related to Larger Text (Accessibility). Increasing the font size screws it up.
