google chat app will not auto rotate

[SJBBF]

I like typing in landscape mode and for some reason only this app will not auto rotate.. is there something I need to do?

I moved this from the Android Apps forum to the General Help forum, since the former is intended for developers to promote their apps.

Which Google chat app are you talking about? Hangouts? Google Messages? Google Voice? Is it even possible you're still using Allo?

I have my company G suite, and the new version of Hangouts is called 'Chat'. Where Hangouts would auto rotate for easier typing, this app will not. Not a showstopper, but seems to me it should be able to. I've check the settings, and it just won't.

Ah, I see. Sorry, I had the full name "Hangouts Chat" stuck in my head, so "Google Chat" didn't quite register.

Unfortunately, I don't use G Suite, so I can't test that out. I assume everything else auto-rotates correctly? Have you tried clearing the cache/data from the app?

Thanks B, I'll give that a try
