Why do people use portrait when landscape gives a better view? I'll never figure that out.

He's using a social networking app called Snapchat. It can be used in landscape mode but it was designed to be used in portrait mode.

So he could have used landscape but used the default -- portrait. I understand that. He should have used landscape. As should most people unless it's an upright "portrait." All video should be landscape.

On snapchat though- because of the design of the APP- had he tried to record it landscape- it would have came out sideways, no way around it YET.

But I'm with you, landscape- in all other instances- is the way to go

I agree 100% it's just that this particular app is very awkward in landscape. Landscape mode is kind of an afterthought in Snapchat.
