My iPhone 6S plus side switch only allows me to lock the orientation, how do I change this to use mute/un-mute? Also, there is no option to change the orientation in the control panel......
iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 11.2.1
Did you perhaps restore an iPad backup to the iPhone?
You can restore an iPad backup to an iPhone and vice versa. Apps that are not compatible won't restore, but everything else will. The reason I asked is older iPads had a setting where you could change the function of the mute switch to rotation lock.
It sounds like your settings are corrupted. You can try Settings/General/Reset - reset all settings. This will scramble your Home screen layout and reset all system settings to their defaults, but you won't lose any data. Make a backup first for safety.
Afterthought: I assume your phone is not jailbroken.
Interesting, I didn't know that you could restore to either device. I'll try the general reset all settings later this evening. I haven't jail broken a phone since the iPhone 4, I stopped doing that.......
So, performed a general reset and before I performed a restore the mute switch actually worked as a mute switch (change the setting an the mute icon appeared), I then performed a restore and the mute switch now only functions as a lock rotation function. Is there anything that I can do to make it go back to the mute function? I even tried just reset only the settings and that didn't change it back to the default mute button setting. I'm want to upgrade to the iPhone X but am worried that if I perform a restore the new phone might get set to only rotate instead of the mute button.
Any Ideas.
No, I didn't. Can you actually do that? I have different apps on my iPads and those aren't on my iphone.
