Screen rotation

I can't get my iphone 13 Pro Max screen to rotate to horizontal so I can read articles on the internet. The words are too small on the phone, and I need to be able to rotate it horizontally and expand the text to be able to read it. I read text on my phone constantly. Has anyone found a way to be able to do that? Thanks.

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 15

Maybe is orientation lock engaged?


  1. Swipe down from the top-right corner of your screen to open Control Center.
  2. Tap the Portrait Orientation Lock button  to make sure that it's off.
  3. Turn your iPhone sideways.
