Cannot flip iPhone 13 upside-down. Where is that enabled?

I just upgraded from 8 to 13pro. I cannot flip the 13pro upside down. (sideways works, but upside down stopped working). I also can't seem to find any setting that enables/disables this.

How do I enable this to be like before?

Thanks

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 15

?? Is that an official answer from Apple? Really? It doesn't make sense - its like a core feature.

Is there anyone who knows how to make it work?

Apple has no undo for the button "This solved my problem" so please ignore that status. Although the response is "interesting" it Totally did NOT solve my problem. I don't understand why Apple would even consider doing such a thing, and how they could so such a thing which is not to the benefit of their customers and a change of no apparent value otherwise.


If @Revianmac's response is true, there must be an article that corroborates this on the Apple website.

Anyone?

This is what I found from Apple:


"By default, view controllers support all orientations on iPad and all orientations except upside-down portrait on iPhone (for developer guidance, see supportedInterfaceOrientations). Some devices, such as iPhone X, don’t support upside-down portrait mode, regardless of whether your app supports it."


It seems like the upside-down orientation stopped with the iPhone X and most likely has to do with the notch and Face ID.

Cannot flip iPhone 13 upside-down. Where is that enabled?
