Especially for those who recently bought an iPhone or updated the firmware to iOS 11, I’ll tell you how to set up screen rotation for any . Rotating the screen is most often used to watch video from a smartphone screen; a horizontal view of a movie or YouTube video is more comfortable for the eye.
Wide or panoramic photos are also viewed better when the iPhone is held horizontally. Auto-flip turns on engineering mode in .
Enable and disable screen rotation in iPhone 7
For iPhone 5s, 6, 8, rotation adjustment in iOS 11 firmware is still carried out by pressing the portrait orientation lock button. To find it, do the following:
Lock screen icon in iPhone 7 with iOS 11 firmware
- Pull it out from the bottom of the screen
- And we see a button with a lock in a round arrow
If the button is not active (as in the picture above), then you can turn your iPhone on its side, the screen with a movie or clip will also turn, stretching across the entire display in horizontal scanning.
But if you lie on your side and want to read on your iPhone in this position, you will have to use the screen rotation lock to prevent it from rotating. By pressing the button you will disable screen rotation, which not only locks, it locks in portrait orientation and this is a bad decision. Lying on your side, you can’t watch reviews on YouTube in full screen.
So Apple, listen here - you just need to lock the screen, without being tied to portrait mode, then it will be much more convenient.
Horizontal screen mode on iPhone Plus models
The lock icon that blocks screen rotation is also present in iPhone models with the Plus prefix. So for the pros, everything works exactly the same.
But the iPhone 6 Plus, 6S Plus, 7 Plus, 8 Plus added the function of rotating the desktop with icons to landscape mode (also called landscape mode). If such a model is turned on its side, then all the icons and wallpapers will turn over and adjust to the horizontal position of the display.
If auto-rotation of working screens with icons does not work in Plus, then you may be using a larger scale, with larger elements, including icons. This mode can be disabled in the Settings application:
- Screen and brightness – View – Standard – Set
The phone will reboot after confirmation. Now in the iPhone Plus, with 5.5 inches, auto-rotation of screen icons should be enabled again.
When you see that your iPhone does not change screen orientation, you need to understand the reasons. To do this, you can check the functionality of this function and make sure that everything works correctly.
Reasons why the screen does not turn over
- The first reason that the screen does not rotate is that this function is blocked. To make sure it is in working condition, you can turn it off and rotate the phone in different planes. The main thing is that the button is not highlighted - then the function does not work.
- The second reason is the apps you use. On iPhone, the screen does not rotate in any applications, so you will need to check as follows:
Go to the standard calculator;
Turn off the orientation lock and place the phone in a vertical position (portrait orientation);
The normal mode of this application should open;
When you turn the phone horizontally with the screen facing you, the calculator will unfold, showing you its engineering side.
- You can also simply restart the phone, because some kind of failure could have occurred due to the new application not being of high quality.
- If all this does not work and the photo does not turn upside down in the iPhone, then it is better to restore from a backup or update the phone to factory settings.
When you have done all this and the phone still does not change orientation, you will need to take your iPhone to our service center, where it will be tested and diagnosed for free. Original components, if any parts need to be replaced. A 30-day guarantee will inspire confidence and confidence.

Before moving directly to the instructions, I want to remind you that some applications only work in portrait mode or, conversely, only in landscape mode. Therefore, first of all, check whether the screen on the iPhone rotates in some standard application, such as Calendar or Photos. If in these applications your screen refuses to turn over, then follow the steps described below.

Do the following:
1. Swipe your finger from the bottom of the screen to the top,
2. “Control Center” will open, in which you will see an icon with a padlock in a circle,
3.
Just click on it and the lock will turn off.

Let's say you're reading a book on an iPhone or iPad, the pages of the book cannot be rotated horizontally or vertically in relation to the screen. Are you comfortable? Or let's say you're watching YouTube videos on the big iPad screen and even after rotating the screen, the videos just don't play in full screen mode? Or you can't view your photo gallery by turning your iPhone or iPad sideways.
Seriously, it's really depressing because it's a shame to have a big screen and not make the most of it. Still, we love Apple devices for many reasons.

Here's how to set up screen rotation:
1. Make sure Control Center is turned on.
2. Swipe from the bottom of the screen to open Control Center.
3. The location of the screen rotation lock depends on which version of iOS you are running. In iOS 11 and higher, it is located on the left, just under the first group of buttons. In iOS 7-10, the location is different, namely the upper right corner. Regardless of the iOS version, look for an icon that should show a padlock with a curved arrow around it.
