Does your iPhone screen stop rotating when you tilt your smartphone? You can find help here..

All Apple iOS-based mobile devices can rotate the screen automatically when the device is tilted. If this no longer works, accidentally activating the alignment lock is often to blame. How to deactivate this again and what you can do if the screen still does not rotate is explained below.

• Disable orientation lock
• What else can you do?

Disable orientation lock

1. Open the control center of your iPhone. On the iPhone X, this requires swiping from the top right to the bottom left . For all other iPhones, you'll have to swipe up from the bottom of the screen .
2. Now check whether the lock symbol with a round arrow around it is displayed in red . If you see it in red, tap it so it is no longer colored red. The alignment lock is now deactivated.

If the symbol is red, the alignment lock is active. // If the icon is white, the alignment lock is disabled.

What else can you do?

Some apps do not allow automatic screen rotation on their own . Use another app to see if the rotation works again. The Notes app is also suitable for this purpose, for example.

If this doesn't work, restarting the iPhone can sometimes solve the problem. If that doesn't help either, you should contact Apple Support ..
