how to change screen orientation in Messages

How to allow screen rotation in Messages? My Control Center icon is unlocked for the screen orientation. All my other apps respond appropriately (rotates according to how I rotate the phone) but Messages is stuck on landscape view, which I don't want. any ideas? (PS my phone is a 12 mini but Apple doesn't allow me to choose it. Only allows up to iPhone 11 models for some reason)
