iPhone 13 will not allow messages in landscape mode. The orientation mode is off. Orientation is unlocked

Hi Fosterjr,

Thanks for checking that for us.

Are other apps rotating with landscape?

Let us know if this is happening in other apps or only in Messages. Test with other apps that have orientation differences, such as Calendar.

Try forcing Messages to close before restarting your iPhone:Close an app on your iPhone or iPod touchRestart your iPhone
