How to rotate your iPhone or iPad screen without moving your device

The easiest way to rotate your iPhone or iPad screen is by physically tilting the device. As long as the Orientation Lock toggle isn’t turned on, you can easily switch between Portrait and Landscape mode. In addition, you can force the iPhone or iPad screen to rotate by opening a full-screen video on YouTube or Apple TV+.

However, there’s another method for rotating your iPhone or iPad screen, and you don’t even need to move your device to do it. In this article, we’ll teach you how to do that and explain when using this feature might come in handy.

As you might have expected, the ability to rotate your iPhone or iPad screen without moving your device is an Accessibility feature, which means Apple wants to make it easier to rotate your phone or iPad without requiring you to tilt it.
