There is a bug on Mobile Native: when you switch to landscape from a tab-page, the page becomes extremely tall (you can scroll far past any visible content). When you go back to portrait, all tab-pages become stuck and non-scrollable.
Once stuck, there is no way to reach content or interact with anything at the bottom of the page . The only fix is to close and reopen the app. This affects ALL tab-page at once, even the ones you still don’t have visited.
This is not a BubbleGo bug, it also happens on both iPhone and Android on live apps.
A variation of this bug: the page remains scrollable but has no safe zone, so part of it is hidden behind the navbar. This appears to affect Android but not iOS.
This apparently does not affect non-tab views.
My app encourages users to switch to landscape for a specific feature on a main tab, which makes the entire app unusable afterward. I reported this bug over a month ago and it is still unresolved.
Do you have a quick fix or workaround in the meantime?
Adding my voice to this as it’s directly blocking our launch too.
We’re building GolfTrackr, a golf performance and coaching app built entirely on Bubble Native Mobile, published to both the App Store and Google Play. The orientation switch scroll bug you’ve described is exactly what we’re experiencing — once a user rotates their device, the scroll either breaks entirely or the page height goes haywire, and the only fix is a full app restart.
This is a critical issue for us because our app is portrait-only by design. We’ve investigated every possible workaround — third-party plugins, HTML/JS orientation detection, page reload triggers — but they all hit the same wall: there is no native orientation lock in Bubble, and without it there’s no reliable way to prevent users from accidentally triggering this bug.
We’re at a stage where the app is otherwise ready to launch publicly, but we can’t in good conscience do so while users can render the app unusable simply by rotating their phone. This isn’t a cosmetic issue — it’s a showstopper.
We’d really urge the Bubble team to prioritise both a fix for this scroll bug and a native orientation lock setting in the app builder. Even a simple portrait-only toggle in the Native Mobile settings would resolve this entirely.
Thanks for raising it — glad to know we’re not alone.
