iPhone 6 Plus doesn't switch to landscape mode on the home screen

That's always been my understanding as well. Only the 6+ is capable of going into landscape in the home screen.

The thread was unfortunately titled and it can't be changed after it is created.

The problem we are addressing is that landscape becomes unavailable in ANY application, on both iPhone 6 and 6+ and so this is not just about the home screen mode on the 6+. There appears to be an OS bug that prevents rotation to landscape orientation of ALL apps. This problem has been reported as related to restoring from iCloud backup or use of the Zoomed display feature, or both. Not really confirmed at this point and it is not readily reproducible, but many folks have experienced it.

I found that opening the calculator and rotating phone would demonstrate the problem (calculator doesn't rotate to landscape). Checking lock rotation icon in control center shows it isn't locked. Restart phone. Open calculator, still won't rotate. But when opening control center, I see the rotation lock icon is set. Click to unlock and all is well. Problem has not recurred for me despite several restarts.

I hope this helps.

Aloha

people, it works fine i my 6 plus, all apps , mail, calendar, the issue i had was i did restore from back up and my portrait orientation was lock, once unlocked all is good ...

to bad for david ortiz for using samsung, 6 plus could of been called big api lol

Ho thank you ! I had the same problem and looked after a solution for a couple of days 😠

Hello guys,

Iphone 6 plus does go into the landscape mode.

The reason it is not happening in many phones is because in the Setting > Display > View > is set to Zoom instead of Standard. If you switch to standard the landscape mode will work.

I had similar issue. Set to standard mode and then RESTARTED my phone. It works

This fixed my problem for all 3, but it should work in zoomed also in my opinion...

THanks . This solved my problem

Hi and thanks, this worked for me as well, however when I go to start a new text message the phone stays in portrait. I can reply to a new message in landscape but cannot start one. Anyone else having this issue?

Thanks in advance.

I agree, I only bought the plus so I could have a larger display, it is really not OK that I can't rotate in zoom

Thanks PowerPage.org! Your suggestion fixed my rotate issue on main screen & two pane mail.

How can I see notification in landscape mode when iphone 6 plus is locked?

Great that worked, thanks

Everyone - the simplest solution is this:

when on home screen - swipe from bottom to top to pull up that control panel where you see the airplane mode, volume, brightness, flashlight, etc. - in upper right corner is the lock with the circle/arrow on it - make sure that's unchecked and you're good to go.

you don't need to change your zoom settings to standard at all.

hope this makes sense and helps.

Guys

It is from ZOOM mode view. Just go display settings make it standard mode that's all
