iOS 16: Apps in landscape after unlock [BUG]
This is a screen rotation bug in iOS 16:
The gyroscopes of the iPhone stay on while the display is off, so my last used app (e.g. WhatsApp) is often in landscape after unlocking while holding the phone fairly flat.
The behavior was correct in iOS 15 and before. Now the iPhone might change its screen orientation just by putting it in the pocket and pulling it out again.
Steps to reproduce:
- you're using the phone in portrait
- you're locking it then tilting it sideways
- you're tilting it back, holding it relatively flat
- you're unlocking it, while you keep holding it flat
- and unexpectedly your last app is in landscape
(Also, the iPhone should know from Face ID what my desired orientation would be.)
