iPhone 16 pro; software update is 26.2.1. My photos are not able to view horizontal, only vertical. Will not flip to horizontal when I turn my phone to a horizontal position. I cannot determine what has happened because it used to allow a horizontal view. I have not changed anything in my camera or my setup to make this happen.
iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 26

Rotating an iPhone:
Unlock the rotation, and then all would work as desired. Find more on this here: Rotate the Screen on your iPhone or iPod touch - Apple Support. As it Reads: "Tap the Portrait Orientation Lock button to make sure that it's off." Note: Some applications do not allow for Rotation (And, yes, the Photos app does allow rotation).

LawrenchFinch found a great catch. Your model is "without" a Home Button.
Here is what to go by on Rotate the Screen on your iPhone or iPod touch - Apple Support
Are you referring to photos you’ve actually already taken and viewing in an app or you’re getting ready to take a photo in the Apple Camera app?
Wrong. You open the Control Center by swiping DOWN from the battery icon.
