Snapchat Now Runs Natively On iPad (9to5mac.com) 7
After 13 years of being exclusively available on the iPhone, Snapchat is finally introducing native support for the iPad. 9to5Mac reports: The latest version of the Snapchat app for iOS enables iPad support. This means that the app now runs full screen on iPadOS. "It's still the same Snapchat you know and love, but this time on the big screen," the company says in the update's release notes. However, it seems that Snapchat hasn't had time to fully optimize its app for tablets. That's because, at least for now, it can only run in portrait mode. There's no way to use the app in landscape mode. The iPad interface also seems a bit glitchy in this first version. The app is available to download from the App Store for devices running iOS 13 or later.

They lost a billion dollars last year. I doubt they need to wast MORE money on a tiny edge use case.
Technology is hard, most app programmers are SOFT. and venture capitalism is ROTTEN.

How does a company with a single app burn up a billion dollars in a year? Did they launch a satellite or something?

Snapchat has been available to install on Android phones, tablets and, yes, even Chromebooks for quite a long time now, so it's strange it's taken them so long to get it onto iPads. The forced portrait mode is actually a bugbear for me for quite a lot of Android apps that I run on Android tablets - I, like most people I suspect, almost exclusively use my tablet in landscape mode and it's infuriating when an app doesn't display in landscape for no good reason. I could see that Tetris and shmups need portrait
