Portrait not working on iPhone 7 plus

I recently updated my 7plus to iOS 13.5.1 and now I can’t use my portrait mode. It isn’t working at all. What could be the problem

Hi PrinceLufupa,


Thanks for getting back to us with those details. Were you able to try the steps we suggested? Are other camera modes working as expected?


If so and you're still having trouble using Portrait mode, we'd suggest that you use the following steps to reinstall iOS to your device. First, make sure you have a recent backup: How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


Next, use the steps titled "Put your device in recovery mode and set it up again" in the following resource. These steps will erase the iOS currently installed and replace it with a new copy. Please be sure to closely follow step four and choose to "Update" in order to prevent data loss: If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Let us know the results.



Take Care.

Hi PrinceLufupa,


Thanks for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. We understand that after updating your iPhone to iOS 13.5.1 you're unable to use Portrait mode. We know what a great feature this is to use; we'd like to help. We'd suggest starting with these steps:



If the behavior continues, please provide these details:


What happens when you try to use Portrait mode? Do you see an error or is the screen black?


Are you able to use the other camera modes without issue? Use camera modes on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch




Best Regards.
