Landscape orientation

I am trying to mirror my iPhone 11 to a smart tv but the orientation will not change to landscape. I also want the phone screen with apps to rotate to landscape orientation and it won’t. How do fix this? Yes and I have turned the portrait orientation off.

iPhone mirroring and mouse on apps Hello, i have an iphone 8 plus connected to an external TV with the official Apple hdmi to lightning dongle. Obviously i use it in landscape, and i don’t care much about some apps being only in vertical, but there is a problem, if i want to use a mouse it does not follow the direction of what i see on the TV, but it follows only the iphone direction. So when i have an app compatible with landscape mode i don’t have any problem because landscape app = landscape iphone, but when i have a vertical only app and the iphone is in landscape i have the mouse all messed up, right and left are up and down, and up and down are right and left. Why the mouse only follow the iphone rotation and not the output rotation? It is a mouse problem, an iOS problem or a TV problem? How can i fix it? Thanks

How can I play a 1920 x 1080 video full screen using the Lightning to Digital AV Adapter? I created a 1920 x 1080 video that plays beautifully on my iPhone and iPad in landscape orientation. Yes, there are blank areas on the left and right sides, but that is expected because of the more “square” aspect ratio of these devices. To view the video on my smart TV, I purchased the Apple Lightning to Digital AV Adapter. It does a fine job of mirroring what is on the iPad/iPhone screen. But I am disappointed that it does not fill the 1920 x 1080 TV screen. There are blank areas on all 4 sides of the video image. If I use my laptop to display the movie using an HDMI cable and the laptop’s screen mirroring function, it fills the TV screen beautifully. Is there any way to display the 1920 x 1080 movie full screen using the Lightning to Digital AV Adapter? It seems like the mirroring of the iPad/iPhone screen (and its more square than 1920 x 1080 aspect ratio) is getting in the way of displaying this video optimally. Is there any way around this? I bought this Adapter so that I would not have to lug the laptop around to show this video on a bigger screen. Sure, the Lightning to Digital AV Adapter will play the video, but not without the annoying blank areas on all 4 sides. Thanks for any ideas on this.
