Since the last update to iOS 14.6 my iPad screen rotation is locked to portrait even though the rotation lock is off, I have closed all apps, reset the iPad and done a full reset but nothing has worked. Is there anything else I can try?
iPad, iOS 9
Thank you for those additional details Moxxy.
With the steps you've completed thus far, and the issue occurring in all apps and functions the next step would be to reach out to Apple. You can find their contact details via the Get Support website.
Take care!
Hello Moxxy,
Being able to rotate the screen on your iPad is a great feature, and you've come to a wonderful place for help! You mentioned having already verified that the setting is enabled. To clarify, did you verify the setting as outlined in the article below? If not, try the steps there.
Rotate the screen on your iPad
If that setting is enabled as outlined in that article, the next you'll want to restart the iPad. You can find the steps for restarting in the following article.
If the issue continues after restarting please let us know if this is happening in Apple applications such as Safari and the Camera, third-party applications, or both.
We look forward to your response!
Hi yes I had done all the above and have even done a full system reset “reset all settings” and it is locked in all applications & photos. In YouTube I can’t watch a video anymore in landscape, what is strange is that on some games like sniper 3D or evolution 2 they both open up in landscape which is how they should be but if you turn the iPad upside down, i.e. to place the charge socket to the opposite side to keep it charging while playing the game (my plug is to the left of my chair) the game goes upside down so it can’t be played, it used to rotate to the right way up. Same with the camera, the circle you press to take a photo always stays at the same long edge choose which way it’s turned.
