Why is it not possible to lock orientation in landscape mode?
I use the Komoot app on my bike, and i want to use it in landscape mode.
Why can i not lock the screen in landscape mode?
I don't understand it.
iPhone 17 Pro Max, iOS 26
Not all apps can be used in Landscape mode. This is up to the app developer. iOS cannot change this. A quick Google search shows that the Komoot app does not support landscape mode, but is designed to be used in "portrait mode"
You can try to get in touch with the app developer and ask if this is a feature they expect to support in a future update.

I strongly advise against fastening a phone as sophisticated as a 17 Pro max to the bars of a bike. You could smash the camera mechanism on your first journey.
