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

Thank you! This worked for me!

This worked for me. It must only be supported in standard mode.

Thanks. your suggestion resolved my issue.

6 Plus does, I am doing it right now. Only device other than the iPad that does this, completely useless though I think.

Thank you Ocean 20 that was a big help to me! All works perfectly now.

so, I've read through this entire post and tried the changing from Zoon to Standard trick several times, even included a soft and hard restart but to no avail. My iPhone 6 (with iOS 8.3) still is not showing the home screen in landscape mode. Is there some super secret fix for this or something I have to wait til the next iOS update?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks!! this worked for me!!!

Thanks for the very helpful info. I swear I'm not a total techie idiot but I've had my new iPhone 6 for months with realising this sodding orientation lock was activated!! I created an account just to thank you. Many blessings good sir x

My issue is related to this but slightly different. My iPhone 6s Plus does go into landscape mode but only after I swipe the home screen. It was instant when the phone was new out of the box and I have not done any restores. The display is set to standard and the lock is off.

Any ideas with this one?

Same here on new 6S.. rotation lock is off, if switched on and back off as well to check if a preference problem

The Display settings are in standard, ive switched to zoomed and back to check if a preference problem

Ive upgraded from a 5 so I also restored as NEW, and it still has same problems.. nothing is fixing the rotation, nothing is giving me any of these features... My 5 was more solid... My 6S is on iOS 9.0.2 (just installed the update today, thought it might fix this and many other bugs.. nope), have no idea why people are talking about iOS 8, when the phone comes shipped with 9..

having Same issue with my 6S plus.

Called Apple they are having me set Apt. to go to store and have phone evaluated. this seems like it is going to be an issue!

Hopefully they can do a firmware upgrade to fix this and it isn't hardware related!

I've since been to my local Apple Store who as usual were extremely helpful. They hadn't heard of it happening before but suggested I reset all settings, done through Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings... and it worked! Its a bit annoying having to do all the settings again, especially as I've got the watch too, but at least it doesn't clear all your apps, music and data. I have had a recurrence once, just after doing the IOS 9.0.2 upgrade but this fix worked again and my 6s Plus has behaved as it should since with a quick response portrait/landscape flip on the home screen. It is obviously a bug and hopefully will be addressed in a future iOS tweak. I think it might be too late for iOS 9.1 as that's now at beta 3 and very close to release but you never know!?

Hope the fix works for others too...

I have actually done a full reset this did not help and I am still having the issue.

This is a nice finding you are a genius

You are absolutely right! my 6s+ now can rotate. Thank you!
