Hi Rjhunts,


Thanks for contacting Apple Support Communities!


We understand that your screen won't rotate in the Messenger app, correct?


Does the screen rotate in other apps as you'd expect? If so, you may consider contacting the app developer directly to check that they've included the option to rotate the screen within their app. If you need help to locate the app developer's contact information, you can reference this article: How to contact an app developer - Apple Support

"Contact the developer of an iOS, iPadOS, or watchOS app

  1. Open the App Store on your iPhone or iPad.
  2. Search for the app, then tap it. If you can't find it, tap the account button  or your photo at the top of the screen, tap Purchased, tap "Not on this [device]," then tap the app.
  3. The app's product page appears. Scroll to the Ratings & Reviews section, then tap App Support. If you don't see App Support, make sure that you're signed in with the correct Apple ID."


Take care!
