Orientation locks

I Have an iPad Air 2. After the recent 8.4 update, the screen orientation randomly locks. The orientation lock is set to off. In order to get my screen to rotate again I have to restart the iPad each time. Does anyone have any suggestions? Restarting the iPad constantly is becoming annoying.

Hi Mldibble,


If you are having issues with your iPad orientation locking randomly until restarted, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.


First, quit all running applications and test again -

Force an app to close in iOS


Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -

Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -
