Iphone side switch and silent mode buttons issue

So I guess I come from the future where only I have an ipad that lets me change what the side switch can be used for? How about next time you know what you are talking about instead of making yourself look like a total clown.

There has never been a physical button on the iPhone to lock screen rotation.

Hey this response is a little late for you however can benefit others withe same issue in the future.

So you had a very hard time explaining your situation mainly because the people who replied back were idiots.

First off it's not a glitch, and is not due to jail breaking your device. To revert back to normal settings first go to settings. Next go in the general tab. Look for "mute" (9th rectangle). Now in that section it will say what to use the side button for instead of having rotation inhibitor checked make sure to check mute. Problem solved.

Before you go calling others names, it's generally a good idea to know what you are talking about.

In this case, you do not know what you speak of.

There is not "mute" setting under General nor has there ever been any setting in iOS on the iPhone (the model being discussed here and the forum that we are in) for the Mute switch. At one point, there was a setting for the mute switch on the iPad, but again, that is not the model being discussed here.

It may be to late to prevent YOU from looking like a clown, but to prevent others, you may note that this discussion is regarding an iPhone, not an iPad. Yes, that option is available on an iPad, not on an iPhone.

That is not correct. There was never an option on the iPhone for using the mute switch as the screen rotation lock. There was such an option on the iPad.

Please READ the ENTIRE thread before responding... it saves you from looking silly and the rest of us for calling you out on simple mistakes. 🙂

No, it was not. It has NEVER been an option for iOS on an iPhone.

Cite your source. And please, make it interesting. It will be challenging for you to top IWinULooz as the number one 'winner' in this thread (LOL, arguing that an iPhone has a feature just because it's seen on an iPad, that's hilarious!!!), but I'm confident, if you try really hard and eat your Wheaties, you can do it!

I think it's possible that paulbpaulb was asking a question and forgot the proper punctuation.

Hi, Just a quick note before I reply - I have read the entire thread 😉

I completely understand the option to change whatfunction the side switch handles is only available on the iPad and NOT the iPhone.

However, Albert124 was asked to supply screen shots to show evidence of the problem he has. He posted the pictures and they back up his problem.

diesel_vdub, is this happening to his iPhone because it is Jail-broken?

Hi.

I found this thread with google. Sorry for the bump but i can explain this. I have the same issue as albert.

There was a beta version of ios(i think it was 9, maybe 8) that let you change what side switch do. Either mute or lock rotation. I changed this to lock rotation. But when beta was updated and future removed, i could no longer change it back. Idont even have a mutebuttom in controlcenter.

Not a huge problem but if antone know a solution, please share.

What you think had or didn't have in a beta version doesn't matter. You put an iPhone on mute the same way you always have: by using the mute switch above the volume buttons. Slide it toward the back of the phone.

Locking screen rotation is achieved from the control centre. Just swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen and tap the appropriate button.

The User Manual has been updated for iOS 7.
