iPhone vertical to horizontal view

Since updating to iOS 16.1.1 I can’t change my screen view from vertical to horizontal. Am I missing something? I really like having that option.

Hi there wmdix1935,

If you can't change the screen from vertical to horizontal on your iPhone, you'll want to start by making sure the screen orientation isn't locked with these steps:

Rotate the screen on an iPhone without a Home button

1. Swipe down from the top-right corner of your screen to open Control Center.

2. Tap the Portrait Orientation Lock button to make sure that it's off.

3. Turn your iPhone sideways.

If the screen still doesn't rotate, try a different app — like Safari or Messages — which are known to work in landscape mode.

You'll find this information here: Rotate the screen on your iPhone or iPod touch - Apple Support

Take care.
