I found that I am unable to rotate to landscape orientation on my iPhone XS, using the iMessages app. The screen rotates in other apps. I tried powering off and on, with no change. Any ideas out there about this? The phone software is up to date. Thanks
iPhone XS, iOS 14
Hi AppleNeonate,
We understand your screen won't rotate in the Messages application. We're happy to offer some guidance.
To start, in Settings > Display & Brightness > Display Zoom, do you currently have the View set to Standard? If you have it set to Zoomed, this would be why the Messages app only displays in the portrait orientation, and you'll want to change it to standard.
You can find more info on rotating your screen here: Rotate the screen on your iPhone or iPod touch
We hope this helps. Take care!
