Hi. I am making a video. I am shooting with my iPhone in horizontal/landscape position but every time I play it back the video is vertical/portrait. How do I film in horizontal/landscape mode? Thanks in advance.
iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 15
Greetings wonderro,
To clarify, are you using the Camera app to record video or a third-party app?
Next, when you begin recording the video, is your iPhone already in landscape showing the timer at the top center and the zoom number correctly for the orientation? If not, we’d like to have you try that and see if there is any change.
Also, can you tell us if you’re watching the video back on your iPhone or via a different device?
A few basics we also want to cover and especially if this is something you’ve accomplished with the Camera app in the past.

Rotate the screen on an iPhone without a Home button
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.
If the screen still doesn't rotate, try a different app — like Safari or Messages — which are known to work in landscape mode.

Thanks.
