"Facebook for android" doesn't allow zooming?


Recommended Posts

Hi guys, my family has 2 android phones: sony xperia mini and zte blade both have Cyanogenmod 7.1.0.1 on, neither can zoom using the facebook for android app. I believe our previous htc wildfire allowed us to do this.

Can someone with a stock android firmware please try zooming on your status feed on facebook and report back, not sure if this is a problem with facebook, cyanogenmod or if facebook have removed this functionality.

My mother cannot read her status updates as her eyesight is poor and facebook doesn't have the ability to change the font size so it is essentially useless for her.

many thanks!

I can't zoom on the News Feed on my Android phone, and I'm running Samsung's stock Gingerbread build on an S5830 (Galaxy Ace). I never could zoom into the news feed and status updates personally, but I know I can zoom in and out on pictures. Seems strange that you can't do it on either of those phones. I know it isn't a feature which was removed when the app was updated because I couldn't zoom in and out on older versions of the app either.

i'm almost certain i could do this on the htc wildfire, not sure if that is my imagination or not. Facebook really need to add the ability to zoom and also change text size assuming some phones can't zoom already as my mother just can't read the text. I emailed facebook to file a bug report and posted on their app's facebook page but i highly doubt they would read those messages nevermind do anything about it :(

    • That actually would make sense. Especially since the mentioned clock speed in the screenshots is almost 500MHz slower when this is set to Enabled.
    • Same, we had Macs. I had no trouble transitioning though.
