iPad rotation bug in iOS 10

Hello MichelPM. I'm tailing you here because you're very attentive to detail. Looking through recent threads, it seems that this affects mainly (only?) iPad Air 2. There's one iPad Pro post, but it's unclear. I agree with you that all these users can do is report it and hope Apple can resolve it.

I to am having the same issue, for the past week or so my iPad Air 2 either gets stuck in vertical or horizontal mode, more often than not horizontal mode and the only way to sort it is keep rebooting, so sent off a bug report via the link MichelPM posted.

Same issue on my iPad Air 2. I found that if I simply push the power button off and then click it on again, the rotation will return to proper action. So far, I have not needed to reboot (either soft or hard) to correct this. It's just annoying to have to turn the screen off and on again every time this happens.

I would suggest that you do keep reporting to Apple the issues that you are having as if more people continue to have this issue, they may find a problem and resolve it. However, on that note, I do not have this issue on my iPad Air 2 so it may be a bug related to something else that is causing the issue. Getting more and more feedback can help isolate the problem and get it corrected.

Same issue here on my iPad Air 2. Since installing iOS 10 about a third of the time when I wake up my screen it won't rotate. It's almost always fixed by locking and unlocking the screen again. Not a huge problem, but definitely annoying.

Hi. Have you tried turning off Settings > General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion. This has helped some iPad Air 2 users. Please report it here https://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html so Apple knows it's a real problem.

Hi, yes, I always turn it off by default on all my devices.

Hello DTM-73. Do you have an iPad Air 2 that is experiencing random rotation failure? Even though Reduce Motion is off? Note that this double negative means that "motion" is actually enabled.

Sorry, I wasn't very clear there. Yes, reduce motion is enabled on my devices, including my iPad Air 2 (mgty2b/a). Regards.

I have the same issue iPad Air 2. After IOS update, the screen rotation locks randomly. Only way to fix it is by turning off the device.

Edit: I can confirm that it "unlocks" when I leave the iPad in sleep mode for a few minutes.

Same here, iPad Air 2, 10.2.1.

Random rotation lock, sometimes when lock and lock it resolves the issue, many times I need to reboot.

Same here, iPad Air2 iOS 10.2.1 32GB - with iOS 9 all works fine.

And it seems, that the rotation-speed is always slow (if it works).

I can confirm this worked for me. Thanks a bunch!

I did 🙂 thanks
