When I open the text messaging app and click the button to start a new message and then try to rotate the phone the screen will not rotate. For example if I start a message in portrait I have to finish the message in portrait - once I click send then I can rotate to landscape - does anyone know why this could be happening?

All help is appreciated.

Thanks
 
No help here, I just tried this on my phone. If typing a new message in a thread, I can rotate. If I create a new thread, no rotation. Must be a bug.
 
There are certainly glitches within messages. The glitch I have is when unlocking the phone with fingerprint in landcape mode, the messages app will freeze in ladnscape mode. This happens pretty frequently when I pull it out of my pocket as my finger makes it to the home button basically as second natre. I need to exit and go back into the app. Rather annoying.
