If you are referring to not being able to rotate the screen, then go to Control Center and check the Orientation Lock to see if it is on. If so, then turn it off.

I believe you may be looking at this wrong. When you go into Settings>Control Center and tap on Customize, it will show you what controls can be deleted and then what can be added. Orientation Lock cannot be deleted from Control Center. I'm not completely understanding what you have said here,

Portrait orientation on or off is what it said & I'm disturb by the other things wanting delete as well !

You need to get out of Settings, and go to where I just showed you in the screenshot above.

You need to turn it off for the screen to be able to rotate.


As I said earlier, the "deletes" you mention are things that are currently in Control Center, and you can remove them if you wish. It is not necessary to remove then, it is your personal choice. See this section of the iPhone User Guide for dealing with Control Center. https://help.apple.com/iphone/11/#/iph59095ec58
