Solved: Turning on/off rotation lock with a broken screen

I recently broke my iPhone screen and have been scouring the internet for how to access the control centre (as I can’t pull it down, that part of the screen doesn’t work). I saw a thread with lots of people saying they had the same issue, and lots of comments saying there was no way to fix it. The post was locked so I thought I’d make my own as nobody else seemed to know what to do.


I just solved it! If you open YouTube on your phone, click a random video, make it full screen. It will turn the video so you have to hold your phone sideways. From there, you can access control centre / rotation lock without touching the broken screen part. It moves the control centre to the other side of your phone.


Hope this helps someone!

iPhone X, iOS 14
