Fix OneDrive Photo Zoom Not Working in Landscape Mode
Question details
The user is experiencing an issue where zooming into photos on the OneDrive Android app works for the first image but fails when swiping to subsequent images while holding the device horizontally.
- Product
- OneDrive for Android
- Device & OS
- Android
- Scenario
- Viewing and zooming into multiple photos sequentially in landscape orientation.
- Observed behavior
- The zoom functionality works properly for the initial photo but stops responding entirely after swiping to the next photo in landscape mode.
Verify that your Android device's auto-rotate feature is functioning correctly, and ensure your device operating system is up to date.
Use Portrait Mode and Report to Microsoft
Since there is currently no universal fix for this app bug, using portrait mode serves as a temporary workaround. Submitting detailed feedback will help Microsoft investigate and patch the issue.
This specific zoom failure is a known interface glitch within the Android version of the OneDrive app. Because device-specific behaviors heavily influence the bug, an official software update from Microsoft is required for a permanent resolution.
Rotate your Android device vertically (portrait mode) before zooming in on photos, as the app's zoom function remains stable in this view.
Open the Google Play Store on your device, search for 'OneDrive', and tap the 'Update' button to ensure you receive the latest bug fixes as soon as they are released.
Open the OneDrive app, tap your Profile picture in the corner, and select 'Help and Feedback'. Provide a detailed description of the landscape zoom issue along with your device model so the development team can investigate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does OneDrive zoom stop working only in landscape mode?
This is likely a software glitch in the Android version of the OneDrive app. The image viewer's code fails to properly re-initialize the zoom function when transitioning between images in a horizontal orientation.
Will reinstalling the OneDrive app fix the photo zoom bug?
Reinstalling the app or clearing its cache may resolve temporary issues, but since this appears to be a bug within the app's rendering logic, an official update from Microsoft is usually necessary for a permanent fix.
How can I view my OneDrive photos properly until the bug is fixed?
You can download the photos directly to your device storage and open them using your native Android Gallery app or Google Photos, where the landscape zooming function will work normally.
How do I clear the cache for OneDrive on Android?
Go to your Android device's Settings > Apps > OneDrive > Storage, and tap on 'Clear Cache'. This will not delete your files but may help refresh the app's interface components.
