Since the upper menu bar was changed to include Explore I’ve noticed that I’ve lost my avatar image in the top right corner when changing between Landscape and Portrait mode on my iPad. It now gets replaced by the Hamburger icon in Portrait mode, which has the menu options plus my profile menu combined into one.
When I work in TSG I use my iPad in Landscape mode. But when I take screenshots for the socials I turn my iPad into Portrait mode to make better use of screenshot real estate. I no longer get my avatar in the Portrait mode screen shots to visually demonstrate that this is my screenshot, my data.
I’m actually surprisingly bothered by this! Because it’s something I’m used to having that has been removed. Is there any way to work the avatar image back into both Portrait and Landscape modes?
Here are examples of how Portrait mode used to look - from a screenshot I actively took and used on the socials - and how it now looks. The loss of ‘identity’ in the screenshot is unfortunate to me.
Update: in fact, here is a request from two full years ago where I stated my preference for including my avatar in screenshots! So I’ve got long standing form for this 🤓

In general, I need to work on the responsive design. I've focused on desktop and mobile for now, but I need to make improvements across the board. Hopefully this issue will be resolved this year!
Nadia Awesome! I realise I’ve suddenly popped up repeatedly on this of late! They’re all live reactions as I notice things 😄 Feel free to ping me if I can ever help with feedback from the big iPad side of things, as that’s my preferred device by a long way.
