Choose your screen component, scroll to the bottom on the right panel, and there should be a section and drop down menu called “Screen Orientation”. You should be able to set it as portrait and it will stay that way for both iOS and Android. ---

> [@kizzy](#): > > on both Android and ios This is in Thunkable Live, right @kizzy? This is actually the intended behaviour, while testing. If you install the app on your phone(s) it should stay in the same orientation. ---

hi @kizzy, i experienced the same but in my case was a very slow connection and even if i hit the “Live Test” button i was always donwloading the old release not the very last! Try to close/open thunkable on your mobile and reload the webpage ---

In my app i had to fix the screen as portrait, put a button for landscape and the button is only for iOs. Unfortunately not for Android. @domhnallohanlon any news about landscaper for android? I had a check in the old posts but no luck… ---
