Split view on iPhone 16 pro

It seems I no longer have the split screen view when I orient my iPhone horizontal. I have not changed any of the settings. I checked settings but I can’t see that I have changed anything.

Can you check that you have not accidentally turned :Use Split View OFF?
5th option down in General Settings

I do not have that option

OK then you may have increased the device’s font size.
The app is making a calculation as to whether your screen form factor is big enough to have split screen at all.
Go to device settings and reduce the font size all the way down, then restart PoLo.
You will see the option. Ensure it is ON.
Then increase the font size until the option is not available. You will have found the font size which disables the split view as a possibility.

I’ll give it a go

You may find that the font size needed to allow split screen is too small for pleasant operation collecting QSOs. My eyes are certainly not up to it. I enlarge the font on my devices. While the phone will not do split unless the font is set at its smallest size. the tablet still does with my preferred font size.
Good luck.

I turned the text size to the smallest setting on the iPhone, restarted the Test flight and POLO app, still no option was given in the settings It’s not a big deal, I use it primarily in the vertical presentation but it was nice sometimes to flip it horizontal and see the spots at the same time.

there may have been a revision on the calculation for this option. I still get it on my phone but only when the font is at its smallest.
My device resolution is 1440 x 3088 pixels.

Not a problem. Thanks for your help. I’m considering getting an iPad 2025, 11" screen anyway. My Microsoft Surface that I’ve had for many years is on its last legs and I was looking at replacing it. I never liked its performance ever since day one. I’ve tried using it for logging in the field with Hamrs, but it pales in comparison to my iPhone 16 pro. Heck, it paled in comparison to my iPhone 11 which is what I was originally using when PoLo hit the scene.
