Normally everything fits my phone screen, now my homepage and all the threads are spread out and unless I pinch to shrink I need to scroll left and right to read anything. I've looked through the settings bugt can't find how to fix this.

Hi @CherryogDog
Sorry for the delay in responding. We're wondering if everything's back to normal for you by now? If it's all still HUGE can you please give us some details of the phone you're using so we can look into this for you.

Hello @CherryogDog oh we're sorry it's still happening. Might be a stupid question but can you check your phone display settings? This page might help:

Hi there @CherryogDog . Could you tell us what browser you're using on your phone please?
LilyMumsnet · 11/12/2023 15:40
@CherryogDog Since pinching the screen isn't a permanent solution, we think you may need to clear your cache. This will make the browser forget the current settings so that Mumsnet appears how it's intended.
Can you give this a go?

So I've logged on using a different phone and everything is normal so must be something to do with the settings on my usual phone. Don't have the app opening up on this one either.
Hi OP
That's really strange.. Can you confirm it hasn't always been this way? It was appearing fine on that device for some time, and then just went large?

Hi again @CherryogDog .
It could be that you've accidentally 'zoomed in' on Chrome. Could you check your zoom settings as described here? That might sort it. https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/96810?co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid&oco=1
With the app issue, if you had the app on a previous phone it will likely have just transferred over to your new phone with everything else. It is odd that it's not appearing in your list of apps but that might be something you need to look at with your phone provider. You could try seeing if you could install the app again and seeing if it appears in the list after that?
