In iPhone landscape mode(game), my options button on screen can’t be touched

Hey there Bryan7292,

Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. To get started, does this issue occur in all apps that use landscape mode? If so, does this issue persist after a restart?

If unsure give that a try with the steps shown here: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support

How to restart your iPhone X, 11, 12, or 13

1. Press and hold either volume button and the side button until the power-off slider appears.

2. Drag the slider, then wait 30 seconds for your device to turn off. If your device is frozen or unresponsive, force restart your device.

3. To turn your device back on, press and hold the side button (on the right side of your iPhone) until you see the Apple logo.

While restarting may seem like a simple step, it can often help with resolving some unexpected issues like this.

Keep us updated on the results.

Take care.

Just a quick follow-up, I went ahead and reported this to Apple. Anyone else who is still experiencing the issue, follow the instructions here and click the link weird looking applefeedback link on this page: Bug Reporting - Apple Developer

Be sure to do this from your iPhone, it won't work to do it on your Mac or anywhere else!

Can finally select the OPTION menu after completing the update to iOS 16.1 today.

However, when I try to end the Guided Access, I get a zoomed passcode interface.

Kind of funny here, don't know how the testing process is done.

Same issue here. The image moves to the lower left of the screen, partially visible. ‘Options’ and most of the screen can’t be selected.

It is with all landscape apps. Restarts and updates do not help.

This bug needs to be elevated to Apple Support, it's obviously a bug in iOS 16. I'm experiencing the same issue, a reboot does nothing. I am running iOS 16.0.3 on an iPhone 12 Pro. Only happens in Landscape mode.

In apps where it's possible to rotate the screen you can mitigate this by starting Guided Access (even if it looks messed up) and then exiting Guided Access. After you enter your password to exit Guided Access, you can rotate the screen to portrait orientation, and then rotate it back to landscape, and now it should show up correctly and you should be able to draw in the areas you'd like to disable. Unfortunately this does not work for games and other apps where the screen is forced into landscape orientation.

There are lots of disabled people who rely on this mode. Really not cool for Apple to have not bothered to test it on last year's phones.

Yup I have the same exact thing happening to me now with the 16.1 update. Glad I can now hit the options button guided access but the passcode numbers being zoomed in like that is annoying and hard to use. Hopefully next update will have it all fixed.

same here. Iphone 13 mini.

also the image isn’t centered anymore and if you want to select an area on the screen you can only partially select.

I selected a circle in the capture.

yes. same here..

Hi, I came here looking for help concerning the same problem. Neither restarting nor installing the IOS 16.0.2 update have helped. I use an iPhone 12 plus.

I'm also having this same problem. I'm using an iPhone 13 pro.

Same issue iPhone 12 pro iOS 16.0.2

Same issue and the restart, reset, and updating IOS did nothing. What is the issue?

Unfortunately, the iOS 16.0.3 update did not solve the problem.
