Is there a way to auto rotate the screen or change it to landscape from portrait?

@Hi @Jack54,

There currently is not a way auto-rotate the Fitbit App for the majority of the Fitbit App.

There are certain graphs on the Fitbit App though, for instance if you: click the dashboard button on the app > click the distance tile > and then click the diagonal arrow button in the top right-hand corner, the expanded graph can auto-rotate from portrait to landscape.

All the expanded fitness stat graphs where you have to click the diagonal arrow button to access (ie calories, distance, steps, etc) have similar orientation behavior.

Hope this helps and welcome to the Community!

Realy? Come on FB, of all the things that need fixing this one should be an easy win.

Im left handed so I usually have my tablet with the buttons to the left. When the Fitbit app opens it refuses to recognize the orientation and opens upside down. Totally crap programming.

It's a shame isn't it - must admit I've just about given up with FB feedback, or support questions. Lots of well meaning users trying to help, but FB themselfs seem to pay this forum little attention now.

Still like my Charge HR, but am coming to accept nothing is going to change around the edges, and frustratingly a few little changes like this 'auto rotate' could make a disproportonate diffrance.

Ho Hum

I am astounded that I don't see more complaints about the lack of auto-rotation in the IOS App.  It isn't a huge problem on my iPhone because I usually hold it in portrait mode but like most tablet users my iPad Pro is in landscape mode most of the time, especially when I have a keyboard attached. 

It is extremely annoying to have to pick up the tablet and turn it sideways in order to use the app correctly.  Your "solution" that many of the graphs and stats will rotate is useless in that you need to find them when in portrait mode then rotate back to landscape.  I'm also astounded that this blog is 2 years old with no changes.
