Many apps give you a different view when you rotate iPhone. The screen turns with your iPhone as long as the rotation lock is off. And if you’d rather it stay put, you can lock the screen orientation, so it doesn’t change when you rotate iPhone.
Rotate the screen
- To make sure the rotation lock is off, open Control Center and tap the Lock Rotation button if it’s red.
Note: If you don’t see the Lock Rotation button, add it to Control Center.
- Turn your iPhone sideways.
Lock or unlock the screen orientation
Lock the screen orientation, and it doesn’t change when you rotate iPhone.
Open Control Center, then tap the Lock Rotation Switch button. The button is red when the orientation is locked, and gray when it isn’t.
Note: If you don’t see the Lock Rotation button, add it to Control Center.
On supported models, the Lock Rotation Switch button appears in the status bar while the screen orientation is locked.
