I see, but the problem is I don't have "Customize App Aspect Rations" in my labs settings. What should I do?

Must be in the upcoming update. I do not have it either

By the way, which apps do that? In full screen FB and IG look ok. They get messed up in pop up windows.

I guess they look ok when portrait, but when landscape its hard to view content in fb, mess, and tiktok lol

I accidentally launched FB full screen landscaped. It adjusted but like you said cropped vertically. I wish the pop-outs or apps can be skinned by resolution in pop-outs or orientation so it can adapt. The tablet has the processing power anyway

Let's give it a try, then
