The screen on your iPhone and iPod touch can rotate so that you can see apps in portrait or landscape mode. Find out how to rotate the screen on your iPhone or iPod touch, or get help if this feature isn't working as expected.

I am having numerous rotation screen malfunctions and I think it may have something to do with the orientation on the home screen getting stuck when I am getting out of the photo app or it could be that I carry the phone upside down in my pocket or bag because the bottom of the apple case isn't protected at all.

I'm having a lot of orientation issues as well. Sometimes, when I take the phone out of my pocket, the orientation will be upside down...as if it flipped while in my pocket, but that doesn't make much sense because my screen was never on while in my pocket (that I'm aware of anyway). Other times, the phone gets stuck in landscape mode. If I flip the phone 180 degrees it wont rotate. If I rotate it 90 degrees into portrait mode, that works fine. Also, I've had issues with rotating from portrait to landscape and the keyboard not working. Sometimes, the whole screen is frozen too until I switch to portrait and back several times.

I Have an iPhone 6 64GB and I am experiencing all the same issues with the random rotation locking and inverted video picture. I too have checked to make sure he rotation lock option is not selected. toggling it does not correct the problem. Shaking the phone to accentuate the orientation does nothing. The only fix for screen orientation and the inverted video problem is a generally a power recycle.

On an iPhone, when you tilt your device on its side, the screen follows and rotates to landscape orientation. Turning on portrait orientation locks the screen so that no matter which way your iPhone is turned, the screen will stay in place. Instead of your iPhone screen flipping between portrait and landscape view, you can use portrait orientation lock.

You can lock the screen orientation on your iPhone or later model of iPad quickly and easily in Control Center. If you have an iPad Pro, iPad Mini 4, or iPad Air 2, or any of the later models, you will be able to lock your iPad screen using portrait orientation in Control Center just like you do on iPhone. To do this:

I want an app to maintain the same UI despite of what the device orientation is. I don't want the default behavior when supporting multiple device orientations where the UI slides / shifts automatically each time the orientation changes. However, I also want to detect what the orientation is in order to perform some custom code.

This assumes that rotation lock is not enabled on the iPhone. If the user locks the rotation then an app can't get device orientation change notifications at all. But that's basically the point of the rotation lock.

I have a SwiftUI iPhone-only app with its orientation locked in portrait, which works great. However, when the same app is run on an iPad (in emulation mode; iPad is not a target) the lock has no effect: the UI rotates with the device, which is unintended as it breaks the UI. It fails in the simulator and on an actual device.

I have a navigation-based application in which I would like just one of the viewcontrollers to support landscape orientation. For that viewcontroller (vc1), in shouldAutorotate, I am returning YES for all orientations and in the other controllers I am returning YES only for portrait mode

But even then if the device is in landscape mode and I go to the next screen from vc1, the next screen also comes up rotated in landscape mode. I assumed that if I return a YES only for portrait mode, the screen should show up only in portrait.

You can't support the landscape orientation only for one of the viewcontrollers if you use shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation method of UIViewController.
You have only two choice whether all viewcontrollers support the landscape or no viewcontrollers support it.

If you want to support the landscape only for one, You need to detect device rotation and manually rotate views in the viewcontroller.
You can detect the device rotation by using Notification.

As i worked out for my App i advise you to use this solution.By using some conditions in the shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation method orientation type we can solve this.Just try with this link will help you.

I just got my iPhone 12 Mini. In the Messages app, landscape (horizontal) orientation does not work. In the message list, inside a conversation, when typing a message, etc., I get the same result: Rotating my phone horizontally has no effect in the app. The app stays locked in portrait (vertical) orientation.

Either way, it's undesired behavior for me. I would certainly prefer to have access to both landscape orientation in Messages and display zoom. And there's nothing preventing this from a technical standpoint. Back in the very early iPhone days, I was using Messages in landscape orientation, and those screens had a much lower screen resolution than an iPhone 12 Mini with display zoom turned on.

For example, if we're on a Master screen that supports all orientations and device is in Landscape mode, presenting/pushing another Details screen that only supports Portrait automatically brings the app to Portrait with no animations. While on iOS 15 or earlier, the app remains at Landscape and only rotates to Portrait when physical device's orientation changes.

Somewhat related, the documentation for setNeedsUpdateOfSupportedInterfaceOrientations -setneedsupdateofsupportedinterfa states "By default, this method animates any changes to orientation. To perform a nonanimated update, call this method from performWithoutAnimation(_:)." and when I attempt to use performWithoutAnimation, it randomly doesn't have an effect half of the time, and I see the unwanted interface orientation change animation.

I had a similar problem.Calling setViewController:animated: of UINavigationController to replace topViewController (which is landscape) with a new landscape viewController makes the viewController try to rotate to portrait first, then suddenly change to landscape.Here is the code to reproduce this bug.

Yes i am using iphone 8. Though its a 4 year old model but still working great and getting ios 16 update. But after ios 16 there is a specific rotation bug with Antutu appoication. I enabled disabled the auto rotation but the app is running with portrait mode and then close in the middle of benchmark test.Dont know how to resolve it

This behavior might be related to the new always-on display of iPhone 14 Pro, but in any case I find it super annoying and I can't quite understand why. - Up until iOS 15 the phone didn't care about its orientation while the display was turned off, now I have my last app in landscape n times a day after unlocking the phone.

We are currently using react-native for our application development and have come across a similar issue in the UIView when the orientation changes from portrait to landscape on navigation. The UIView seems to stay in portrait mode and it looks like half of the screen content has been sliced off. The same happens while navigating back from landscape to portrait screens where the screen appears to be stretched as the content holds landscape mode.Also, we are only able to replicate this on a physical device more precisely iPhone 13 and above and not on the respective emulators.To fix this behavior we have used react-native-orientation-locker package which covers 90% of the scenarios but for some edge cases (like when receiving third-party push notifications), we still face this issue.Any help or thoughts on this would be much appreciated as it is currently blocking some of our core functionalities.

@lighthouse-learning I'm facing a similar issue when entering a video in FullScreen mode on landscape. When exiting, the layout attempts to switch to portrait and broken (see attached imagen) My app in develop in Ionic + cordova.

Recently, my iPhone8 won't allow me to look at things in landscape, even though portrait mode is turned off. We just updated it, so we have the latest IOS on it, 13.4.1. Sometimes, if you power it off and on several times, it will work. But not always.

Thank you for contacting Apple Support Community! I see your iPhone seems to be having issues with rotating the screen between portrait and landscape orientation, being able to use this feature is important in your iPhone 8.

On my blog, when you have phone in portrait orientation, the blog page will not scroll beyond the image for the first post. You can pull the page up, and use more fingers to keep pulling up, but as soon as you release, it pops right back up to the top of blog.

Sometimes when I upload an image shot on my iPhone to online forums, the image comes up with the incorrect orientation: an image shot in portrait, taller than wide, shows up rotated 90 to landscape, wider than tall.

I found a post in one of my forums where I'm complaining about the same thing from a phone and several iOS Versions ago. But today I am looking at an image that I shot in portrait orientation on my iPhone, that my iPhone recognizes and displays in portrait orientation, but that is showing up in landscape mode when I preview the post on the phone.
