I bought the Honor Tab 9 tablet. When I opened a Facebook reel with the tablet in landscape mode, the video kept switching rapidly between landscape and portrait every second. During this, the home, back, and minimize buttons stopped working, and nothing responded unless I forced a shutdown. But when I set the orientation to Auto, the reel played fine in portrait mode. Not sure if it's a Facebook problem or compatibility issue with Magic OS.
