Text Message App Stuck on Horizontal?

Hi,

I know how to use Portrait Orientation Lock so the problem is not that. However, the text message app is stuck on horizontal. Any ideas how I can change it back to Vertical?

Many Thanks

Welcome DanPavlo,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. Based on your post, you're having issues with the Messages app being horizontal or in landscape mode.

For issues like this, we'd recommend to close the Messages app and restart your iPhone normally:

Close an app on your iPhone or iPod touch

Restart your iPhone

With orientation lock disabled in Control Center, launch the Messages app to test it out.

Let us know if that solves this or not, take care.
