that seems a RN bug not the hooks

I can confirm that Dimensions are not updating on orientation change in RN 0.63, with or without use of useDeviceOrientation hook. If you downgrade to 0.62.2 it works as intended.

I hit this issue too. Looks like this hook is using the 'screen' dimensions. I was able to work around it by making my own hook based on the 'window' dimensions.

Hi, I have issue with useDeviceOrientation() it does not return current orientation of my device and android emulator. How can i fix it?

[SorinGabriel02]

The fastest fix is to use useDimentions hook instead:

const { height, width } = useDimensions().window;
const landscape = width > height;

Thanks for the input!

I just tested with the version 2.8.1 of the library and the version 0.67.4 of react-native and it works fine.
