Rotate the screen on your iPad
The screen on your iPad can rotate so you can see apps such as Safari and Messages in portrait or landscape mode. Find out how to rotate the screen on your iPad or get help if the feature isn't working.
Some apps don't support rotation, so your screen may not rotate while you're using those apps even if rotation is enabled.
How to rotate the screen on your iPad
Make sure that Rotation Lock is off: Swipe down from the top-right corner of your screen to open Control Centre. Then tap the Rotation Lock button
to make sure it’s off.
Turn your iPad sideways.
If the screen still doesn’t rotate, try a different app like Safari or Messages which work in landscape mode.
Check the app that you're using
Remember that not all apps support rotation. If some apps on your iPad are rotating as expected and others aren't, the ones that aren't rotating were purposefully built that way by their developers.
Still need help?
If the screen on your iPad still won’t rotate, contact Apple Support.
