I am now unable to rotate my photos from portrait to landscape by turning my phone. I heard that this was caused by a IOS change by mistake. I downloaded the latest update 14.01 last night and it did nothing fix this. Any help out there?

Can you double check to see whether you have Rotation Lock set to ON?

To check whether the screen rotation lock is turned on, look in the top right corner of the screen next to the battery indicator for an icon that looks like an arrow curving around a lock. If you see that icon, screen rotation lock is turned on.

Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to reveal Control Center. The icon at the far left—the lock and arrow icon—is highlighted to indicate that it's turned on. Tap on it and turn it OFF.
