Q: My iPhone 6 is locked in vertical mode. How do fix this?

I Have a brand new iPhone with current update. I am not able to turn my phone horizontal and have the picture rotate with the phone. I understand this is a setting lock but how do I fix it with this version. I had a 4s model and it had the same issue that I never resolved. Can this be fixed stil?

iPhone 6, iOS 8.1

    Hey there Nstengel4,

     

    It sounds like your phone does not go into landscape mode form portrait. From what you describe it seems to me that Rotation Lock might be enabled,  or there could be something else afoot preventing this action. Use the following article to help determine what might be the issue here:

     

    If the screen doesn't rotate on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

    Check your settings and test with an app that rotates

    Some apps don't rotate. Some might use only portrait or landscape mode, or switch depending on the content. To test screen rotation, open the Calculator app that comes with your device. If the screen doesn't rotate when you rotate the device, try these steps:

    1. Check for  in the status bar. If you see this icon, Orientation Lock is on. To turn it off, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to reveal the Control Center and tap .
      Control Center with orientation lock on
    2. If you have an iPhone 6 Plus, turn off Display Zoom to rotate the Home screen.
    3. If you have an iPad with a Side Switch, turn the Side Switch on or off.

    If you checked your settings and your screen still doesn't rotate when using an app that should (like the Calculator app), follow these steps:

     

    1. Restart your iOS device.
    2. If the screen still won't rotate, back up and restore your device.
