Hey Hacksaw417,


It appears that you're wanting to watch the TV app in landscape mode, where it will take up the entire screen. Does this happen only in the TV app or multiple apps? This can help us isolate what might be going on. Also, you'll want to make sure that Orientation Lock isn't enabled, as that can stop a screen from rotating like it should.


"Rotate the screen on an iPhone without a Home button

  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.
  3. Turn your iPhone sideways."


If you're still unable to rotate the screen, you can see if restarting may help: Restart your iPhone It may seem like a simple step, but it can help resolve issues.


Take care.
