Rotate screen

I have an 8+ running 16.3.1 and my screen no longer turns pdf 180° when I rotate my phone. What setting do I need to change to get it to rotate the images?

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 16

Hi Tkr48,


We recommend that you try the steps here: Rotate the screen on your iPhone or iPod touch - Apple Support


To perform the recommended troubleshooting steps via the link above, complete the steps in the section titled "Rotate the screen on an iPhone or iPod touch with a Home button."


1) Swipe up from the bottom edge 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 or iPod touch sideways.

If the screen still won't rotate, try another app, like Safari or Messages, that is known to work in landscape mode.


We recommend the steps above because they will show you how to rotate the screen on your iPhone so that you can see your PDF in landscape view.


Please let us know the outcome after giving the above steps a try.


Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.


Cheers!
