The majority of Android apps, including Reddit, some parts of Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Instagram and many many more, simply do not work in landscape mode on phones, tablets or ChromeBooks? Their website counterparts work fine in landscape mode using browsers on PCs, laptops, tablets and ChromeBooks. Some apps cannot even be installed on tablets and ChromeBooks from Google Play Store.

However, many apps from smaller organisations and independent developers do work just fine in landscape mode and cope admirably with rotation of the screen, usually expanding the data displayed to avail of the screen width or switching to splitscreen mode as is the case with Android Settings, WhatsApp and a variety of e-mail apps.
