STEP 2
Turn Rotation Lock off
Find the padlock with a circular arrow. If Rotation Lock is on, tap it once to turn it off.
This close-up shows Rotation Lock already off. Do not tap it again if yours is also off.
STEP 3
Return to your app
Close Control Centre to return to the app.
STEP 4
Turn the iPad sideways
Hold the iPad sideways. If the app does not rotate, try Safari instead.
Some apps only work in one orientation, even when Rotation Lock is off.
IF SOMETHING LOOKS DIFFERENT
A little help along the way.
Your menus may look different after an update. Look for the same control name and take your time.
I cannot find that option+
Check that this guide covers your device and software. If the names do not match, use the manufacturer’s instructions linked below for your model.
I need to go back a step+
Use Previous step or select a step number above. This changes the guide only; it does not undo anything on your device.
Are these pictures of my device?+
They are example screens showing exactly where to tap. Your names, apps, wallpaper and layout may look a little different, but the options you need are the same. Some pictures show what you should see after a step.
