Screen rotation doesn’t work
iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 16
The ability for a screen to rotate or adjust its orientation depends on the specific application being used. While some apps support screen rotation, allowing the display to automatically adjust when you change the device's orientation (such as from portrait to landscape), there are many apps that do not offer this feature.
When an app does not support screen rotation, it means that the display will remain fixed in either portrait or landscape mode, regardless of how you hold or tilt your device. This limitation is typically determined by the app developer, who decides whether to enable screen rotation functionality within their application.
It's worth noting that certain apps, especially those that are designed specifically for a particular orientation, may choose to restrict screen rotation intentionally. For example, a game that relies on a landscape-oriented interface may disable screen rotation to ensure optimal gameplay experience.
In summary, screen rotation is not universally supported across all apps, and whether an app allows the screen to rotate or not depends on the app's design and the preferences of its developer.
Here are a few examples of Apple's built-in apps that do not support screen rotation: Calculator, Contacts, Voice Memos, Compass, and Stocks
