No longer possible to zoom into graphs and rotate for landscape view after update on 13-02-2025

My Connect app updated yesterday and now I can't turn the screen sideways and zoom into the graphs anymore.

It used to work with the heart rate, stress and body battery graphs.

I can get it to work if I change my phone settings to enable auto rotate, but that changes the setting for the whole phone and is not what you want for most apps. The old way where Garmin would override the global phone setting when you were looking at a graph was better because that is a time where you would actually want a landscape view.

  • Which version of Garmin Connect Mobile? I'm on 5.9.1. I'm unable to replicate this issue, even with auto rotate disabled.

  • I am also on 5.9.1.

    I found out today that tapping the charts in an activity does still open them up in landscape.

    The graphs I meant are the daily Health Stats ones such as Heart Rate, Stress and Body Battery. These ones now need you to change your auto rotate setting to get them full screen whereas before there used to be a "rotate your phone" icon at the bottom of the screen which let you know that if you rotated then it would go full screen (without changing auto rotate)
