I can’t stop my new iPad Air from rotating. Each app seems to have it’s own mind made up as to whether it’s vertical or horizontal. I’ve tried locking it, still does its own thing. Crazy!!!!
iPad, iOS 10
Some Apps are designed specifically for iPhone and its portrait display. Unless Apps are explicitly coded for iPad - and are coded to work in both portrait and landscape - they will display in portrait mode. iPadOS cannot, currently, override the App coding.

Assuming that your new iPad Air is running iPadOS, you will find the screen rotation lock in the iPad Control Centre. Swipe-downwards from the top-right of the screen:
I know. I’ve tried it but still rotating
Some Apps, principally designed for iPhone, will always force the display orientation to Portrait mode.
Oh ok. iPads too?
thank you
I keep trying to lock the rotation on my new iPad Air and it still won’t lock. Driving me nuts to have to keep rotating the machine to view it.
