I can’t get the phone to turn horizontally on my ipjone7plus

My iphone7plus won’t turn horizontally. I can’t get to where I’m suppose to be by swiping down from the right.

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 15

FYI - Not all apps rotate to the Horizontal mode. Ensure that you are using an app that has the rotating capability.

You may have the Rotation Lock set to ON. To check, SWIPE UP from the very BOTTOM of your screen. This will reveal the Control Center. Locate the Rotation Lock Button in the Control Center. The Rotation Lock button looks like Lock with a Circular Arrow around it. If this icon is highlighted in White, then the Rotation Lock is active. Tap on the icon to unlock Rotation.
