I updated the software for my 3GS to IOS 6. However, I noticed when viewing my Facebook page, the screen doesn't not auto rotate from portrait to landscape. Is this by design or is there a glitch?
iPhone 3GS, iOS 6
Double tap home button and then on the bottom of the screen swipe all the way to the right untuil you see circular arrow inside a square logo. Tha tis the screen lock/unlock rotation button
I tried that and it doesn't work...
Did you find the circular arrow icon and tap on it to unlock and allow for rotation?
Yep. I've been trying to figure out if it's in settings and it's bugging me. I can't see to get the screen to rotate.
Not in settings no. what you need to do to find the circular arrow button is double tap the home button, then on the bottom of the screen you need to swip all the way to the right to reveal the circular arrow button. then you tap on that to either lock rotation or unlock rotation.
I did that already and it's not working. It rotated just find before the software update. Now, it doesn't anymore. The other pages rotate, but when viewing Facebook, nothing happens.
Since their last update (going native), Facebook no longer supports screen rotation. My guess is after you upgraded your iOS version, the app updated as well.
I have the same problem. Just bought new Iphone 5 and autorotate doesn't work at all. I upgrades to ios newest version. Ive tried to unlock using the recommended way but nothing works.
STEP 1
Press the "Home" button below the iPhone screen twice to display the icons for recently used apps in the bottom status bar.
STEP 2
Swipe the status bar from left to right until you see the screen lock icon, which is a padlock inside a circular arrow.
STEP 3
Tap the screen lock icon to turn off the screen lock. The padlock icon will disappear and screen rotation should unlock.
STEP 4
Press the "Home" button again to return to hide the status bar.
STEP 5
Launch an app that you know allows screen rotation, such as the "Calculator" app.
STEP 6
Rotate the iPhone to ensure that the Calculator screen also rotates. If the screen moves as expected, you have successfully removed the lock. If the screen remains locked, press and hold down the "On/Off" button and then swipe the "Slide to Power Off" tab to switch off the iPhone. Press the "On/Off" button to power on the iPhone.
IOS 6 auto rotation question?
