My Iphone XS Max is unlocked for landscape view and will not go to landscape in settings or contacts. Landscape does occur in Safari and mail but no split screen. Any solutions?
Thanks.
iPhone Xs Max, iOS 12.0.1

The iPhone XS Max Home Screen Doesn't Rotate In Landscape Mode
Sorry, that is incorrect. I have an Xs Max in front of me and it shows many things in landscape mode, including Contacts and Settings which the OP asked about.
bjrocdoc, if you do not have rotation lock enabled (see Control Center) there are a few other things which may disable landscape view.
If you can't find any setting that impacts this, try resetting or even restoring your iPhone Xs Max, it certainly will support landscape view in many ways (but not the Home screen, unfortunately).

The iPhone XS Max Home Screen Doesn't Rotate In Landscape Mode
Everything I can find says it’s not possible. There are pages and pages of articles stating the same. If it were possible it seems like it would show at least one hit in the top pages. For the videos on YouTube I’m guessing they have either jail broken devices or simulated screens.
I know it has been removed from home page and only available in specific areas. There are several demonstrations on You Tube with Iphone XS Max showing when in Settings and in Mail that the phone is sideways with a landscape view revealing a split screen, i.e. in Settings the menu is on the left and the item selected open on the right, or in Mail the emails on the left and the specific email opened on the right. I cannot replicate that on my phone.
Appreciate your researching it. You may be correct that is some type of device manipulation just interesting it is on multiple videos that tout it is straight out of the box.
Thanks.
Mine it splits between the contact and text screen but the keyboard stays in full-size landscape mode... smh annoying!
Any idea if there is a lock or something that prevents it on the phone?
Interesting that every article I researched said it had been removed. Glad a solution was found for you.
That was it. I took it off Zoomed back to Standard and the landscape/split screen is there. Thank you!
No landscape mode in settings or contacts
