Use Docs in landscape mode on the mobile app

1 min read

I. Intro

You can switch to landscape mode to view a variety of content types, such as embedded tables and Gantt charts, as well as documents shared through Magic Share in meetings.

Note: This feature is only supported on Lark version 5.25 or above.

II. Steps

1. Switch to landscape mode

Depending on your device settings, there are two ways to switch to landscape mode when you rotate your phone horizontally.

Auto: If orientation lock on your phone (sometimes called "screen lock") is not enabled, then the document will automatically switch to landscape mode.

Manual: If orientation lock is enabled, the landscape mode icon will appear in the upper-left corner of the document when you rotate your phone horizontally. Simply tap this icon to switch to landscape mode.

III. FAQs

Why can't I view a document in landscape mode?

There are two likely reasons:

Landscape mode is only available for Upgraded Docs. If your document was created a while ago, you may be using an older version. See How to tell whether a document is upgraded Docs or Docs 1.0.

Check whether your phone is updated to iOS 16. Due to system requirements, phones running on iOS 16 only support auto-rotation, which means you won't be able to use landscape mode if orientation lock is on. Turn off orientation lock in your settings and rotate your phone to try again.
