Horizontal orientation for photos and movies stopped working

Why have horizontal orientation for the display of my photos and movies stopped working? When I view movies or photos they used to fill the width of my phones display when I turned my iPhone horizontal. Now they don’t change.


Did some setting get jacked when my phone automatically updated?

Are you stating that when you turn your iPhone then the Photos/videos are not turning accordingly? IF this is the case then-

PULL DOWN from the RIGHT CORNER of your screen and that will reveal the CONTROL CENTER. Tap on the icon that looks like a Lock within a Circular Arrow and unlock the Orientation Lock. That should return the rotation function back to your iPhone. Please see the image below-
