View is stuck in portrait mode- not locked
Can no longer rotate phone for landscape view in any app, photos, etc. The button is NOT locked on home/control screen.
Tried the 3 step hard reset to no effect. Frustrated…
iPhone 11, iOS 17

The "Up, Down, Side" instructions require some precision:
- Press and quickly release VOLUME UP
then
- Press and quickly release VOLUME DOWN
then
- Hold the SIDE button until an Apple logo appears (15-30 seconds), ignoring "slide to power off" if it appears
The operative word here is QUICKLY; and try it a couple of times, the timing is a little tricky. If done correctly this will always work unless the phone has a hardware problem.
