Hello Chance2233,


Here are the steps for an iPhone 8, according to Rotate the screen on your iPhone or iPod touch - Apple Support:


Rotate the screen on an iPhone or iPod touch with a Home button

1. Swipe up from the bottom edge of your screen to open Contol Center.
2. Tap the Portrait Orientation Lock button  to make sure that it's off.
3. Turn your iPhone or iPod touch sideways. 

If the screen still won't rotate, try another app — like Safari or Messages — which are known to work in landscape mode.


Have a good day.
