"Sandwich menu" (and therefore the option "page layout") not visible on Huawei CMR-W19

Hi all,

"Sandwich menu" is missing on my Huawei Mediapad Pro, but not on my P20Pro. Clean reinstall of Edge from Google play after rebooting did not help either.

Anyone any idea?


Thanks in advance, Martin

I live in Switzerland, so contacting Microsoft support by phone as suggested is difficult.

I post two screenshots to clarify:

First, my Huawei P20Pro:

And here my Huawei MediaPad M5 Pro, same version of Edge (45.02.4.4931), but a completely different look:

and, btw, the "view desktop/mobile site" function is not working here!

thanks, Martin

I'm having the same issue.

However, I found out so far that this happens due to this modern UI design, where UIs adapt to the resolution of the device, which makes the app look different on devices with different resolutions.

This has some advantages, but in my opinion, the user experience really suffers, because the user is confronted with a totally different UI. So, when he learned how to use an app on one device, he has to learn how to use it on a different device from scratch, cancelling out the advantage of installing the same app on both devices.

When you go to Settings, Display, you can change the display size of your device to extra large. Once you have done that, Edge will look different. And you will actually see the missing hamburger icon.

Unfortunately, when you return to default display size, not only the button will be gone, but also your page layout customizations you made while the display size was set to extra large.

This is the worst form of software design and implementation. It seems the goal of today's software design is to confuse the user as much as possible.

Hi Thomas

Thanks for your answer and sorry for the delay..

The problem is, I do not have "Display" in the settings, on both devices.

With the actua version 45.12.4.5137 nothing changed, still no sandwich-menu on my tablet.

Could it be due to the Android version (8.0.0 on my Huawei tablet, 10 on my Huawei phone) ?

Cheers, Martin
