Apps won't switch to landscape mode in iPhone

None of my apps will play video in landscape mode. I’ve tried Twitter and Spotify and the screen will not turn when I turn my phone. My landscape mode lock in my control center is turned off so I am out of options. PLEASE HELP!!!

iPad app orientation issue after iOS 26 update APP DEFAULT orientations not working: after iOS 26 update many of the apps I use are not defaulting to THEIR default orientations, they seem to be forced open in the DEVICE’S current orientation. Example: an APP uses a portrait orientation as the default (and sometimes does NOT support the opposite orientation). If my iPad is sitting in landscape orientation, the “default=portrait” app now will 1) open with a smaller screen in the landscape orientation - with odd white space around OR 2) attempt to do this but fail - using part of the screen, not showing the entire page content, etc Sometimes within a gaming/casino APP, orientations change depending on the individual game chosen… that also is a mess (2 above) BEFORE iOS update, the APP would open up maximized to its default orientation and I would turn the device to match it. Is there a way to allow the app to open to its default, maximized orientation vs forcing it to try to fit the device’s current orientation? I’m still trying to figure out all the new “resizing” stuff going on since update too, so perhaps it’s related.
