Rotate the screen on your iPhone or iPod touch

The screen on your iPhone and iPod touch can rotate so that you can see apps — like Safari and Messages — in portrait or landscape mode. Learn how to rotate the screen on your iPhone or iPod touch, or get help if the feature doesn't work.


Some apps don't support rotation, so your screen might not rotate even if Portrait Orientation Lock isn't turned on.

  1. Swipe down from the top-right corner of your screen to open Control Center.
  2. Tap the Portrait Orientation Lock button  to make sure that it's off.

If the screen still doesn't rotate, try a different app — like Safari or Messages — which are known to work in landscape mode.
