How do I watch a movie in portrait mode on my iPhone X? Ever since iOS12, I can’t seem to get the view to portrait in many apps, such as TV, Firefox and others.

I think you are trying to tap on the icon on the home screen, not in the control center. Go to a home screen and swipe down from the top right to get the control center. Then tap on the lock icon there.

Hi,

Yes - I see this (very, very) small icon that looks like a closed lock with a circular arrow around it. This icon is so small, though - sandwiched between the alarm clock icon and they battery percentage/battery icon - that trying to click on it alone is impossible.

Where can I find a Setting to change this to ‘unlocked’?

Thanks in advance!
