I don't see a screen rotation option.

I want to use my iPad Pro 5th generation as my secondary(external) display, and I want to use it vertically so it would be capable of showing more information on the screen, but when I go into the displays settings, I see no options for rotation but just an image of my display arrangement.


I tried to look up on the internet for the solution but I couldn't find any that works for me. Both devices are updated to the latest version, and they are all verified with single account. Sidecar is working great as well, only rotation is not working.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.4

What happens if you physically rotate the iPad screen...(?)


Verify portrait/landscape option is not locked...from the Control Center pull down


Change or lock the screen orientation on iPad - Apple Support
