How to change orientation on iPhone?

How to change orientation on iPhone?

1. Double click the home button to bring up the multitasking bar.
2. Swipe right until the last set of icons is displayed in the multitasking bar (these will include play/pause and skip buttons for iPod or Pandora).
3. The furthest left icon looks like a circular arrow - touch this icon to enable or disable rotation lock on the iPhone.
4. A rotation lock icon will appear in the status bar next to the battery charge icon when rotation lock is enabled. This looks like a circular arrow around a padlock.

When rotation lock is enabled apps will not respond to the accelerometer sensor.

You can't change your iPhone's orientation, it was made that way.

Lmao try using the pull down bar? Oh noes its not an Android. Go into settings and find it under Display.

Sorry, your iPhone was made that way, don't let anyone tell you different. Trying to change its orientation won't work and could give it horrible problems.

On iphone5 pull up the panel from the bottom of the screen (just swipe up) and you will see a padlock with a circle around it (that's the orientation lock) toggle it off.

Thanks, Guest! That was what I was looking for!

  • Why can't I change the YouTube screen orientation on iPhone? I recently switched from android to iPhone and with my old phone I could easily switch from portrait to landscape on my phone, even when browsing videos. But on my new iPhone I can't seem to do that and I can only go landscape when I make my videos full screen. This gets annoying when browsing because I have to keep turning my phone to browse. (Yes, I have unlocked the orientation lock) please help!
  • My iphone isn't changing orientation? It was working earlier today but it isn't working anymore. The portrait orientation is unlocked so it shouldn't be doing this. Any suggestions to fix this. I do not want to reset my phone.
  • My iPhone 5s won't rotate, it has ios 8.01, and the portrait orientation is not turned on? I want to play a racing game and I need to be able to tilt the phone in order to steer the car, but that won't work either. Like i said i checked the button that locks the landscape mode, but it is not turned on. I have reset the phone numerous times and it still is not working, any help would be appreciated
  • Mobile web site development - images and device orientation? I have developed a mobile site with a 320px wide image on the page. When viewed on the iPhone in portrait orientation, all is. But when you view in landscape mode, it obviously doesn't fit the page. How to fix so that the image will fit all devices, regardless of orientation?
