Full screen Facebook videos?

[PNWducks]

Am I going crazy? I feel I used to watch FB videos full screen but with the new os and 14PM I can’t watch them in full screen. Is there a setting I’m missing ?

I just tested this, and discovered that those vertically-recorded "reels" will play full screen when I tap on them, but other videos will not. There is a "full screen" button at the bottom right of the video, but it is non-responsive, and rotating the phone to landscape doesn't do anything either. Weird.

I just watched a Facebook video and encountered the same thing.

It’s almost certainly a Facebook app issue, but an iOS 16 issue, though. I’m running the public beta of iOS 16.1.

So it’s not just me. Good lol

The latest Facebook update fixed it for me.
