Thank you for your reply, Yaar Punjabi,

and thank you for trying everything.


You might want to take your iPhone in to an Apple store, for expert help, if possible..

a Genius Bar reservation is recommended:

or

See a list of Apple phone numbers around the world.

and / or

You might want to send feedback to Apple.

If others are experiencing the same issue, it may be addressed in a future update.

Hi Brbo, i am using ios 15.2.1, yes, i have tried everything you have mention but still it’s doesn’t work. Portrait orientation locked is on but still FaceTime screen rotating. FaceTime screen start rotating when i used other app during FaceTime call.

Note: the app i used during FaceTime call that doesn’t rotate only the FaceTime screen rotate which is shown on the corner.

you might not feel difference on your side on small facetime screen but the other person you are making with FaceTime call will tell you that screen is rotating.
