Landscape mode in Messages

Hey!
So for some reason my phone will not go into landscape mode in messages. It will in email/safari/etc...but not messages. I check to make sure that orientation is unlocked...and it is.
Any help?
Thanks!

I'm confused how that is a feature? lol It wasn't doing something it should be able to do.

  • My IPhone 4 with OS 5 recently quick going to landscape mode in messaging

    Hi,
    Up until two days ago my messages where able to go to landscape mode.  I know the gyroscope is still functioning as Safari, pictures, etc, all go in and out of landscape mode.  I have double click the home key and scrolled right to verify that the landscape mode was not locked.  Yet it still won't go into landscape mode in either recieving messages or creating new ones.  Any ideas?

    Found in another post simply hold home key and power button to reboot IPhone.  Worked like a charm.

  • The message pane obstructs view in landscape mode.

    In the landscape mode of my iPhone 6+, the left hand pane which displays messages (in the message app) or recent emails (in the email app) obstructs useable screen space.  I am a 2 thumb typer and like using the landscape view for messages and email.  I have not found a way to select whether I wish to display that pane, or not.  Is there a way of doing that?......or can we convince Apple to provide one?

    Thank you!! That was too simple, I kept checking settings

    have the same issue even after upgrading to 8.1

  • Since the upgrade to 8.1.2, I can only use "messaging" in landscape mode and not portrait.  Anyone else having this problem?

    I unable to view or type messages vertical or portrait mode...it appears to be locked in horizontal or landscape mode. Any suggestions?

    What user troubleshooting have you tried? User steps are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. There is no lock for the iPhone in Landscape mode, so I believe a reset should help. Also, double-tap the home button and bring up the multi-tasking bar, find the Messages app and then swipe upwards on the app thumbnail to force it closed.

  • On/off button stuck, messaging screen stuck in landscape mode

    I have had my iPhone 4 for 1 year and 1 month. It has been great up to two days ago when the on/off button mysteriously quit working. Then, today the messaging screen just froze in landscape mode. I have been googling my problem and the average response is to reset your phone. Which makes sense, except I can't use my little on/off button. So, what can I do? Super annoying to text in landscape mode...Help me!!

    Can I turn off my phone using the accessibility feature and then plug it in to a power source to turn it back on? It may reset my messaging screen...I can live without the lock button but I'm not a fan of texting in landscape mode. I just want to for sure know the power source will turn it back on.

  • Iphone 6 not going to landscape mode while in messages

    For some reason when i try to type in landscape mode phone will not go to landscape more I have to close the app multiple times just for it to happen. Also bluetooth not working with any devices. And for some other reason while on FaceTime other people are saying my picture on there end was upside down.. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!! Also when i double click the home button and try to go back into iMessage the keyboard is no where to be found for a couple of seconds..

    Indeed the option to lock to portrait mode is not on in the control panel. The behavior of switching from portrait to landscape works fine in my hand, it's when the phone is in a holder that it does not detect the orientation and adjust accordingly. The iPhone 5 did this with no problem, but on iPhone 6 any app that allows landscape mode starts out in portrait mode and then does not automatically adjust. Rather you have to move the phone back into portrait mode and it's that motion of being re-oriented into landscape mode that finally triggers the switch.

  • Problem with rotation and landscape mode in iOS 8

    From start of iOS 8 I have got problem with rotation in my iPhone 5S 32GB as well as in my iPad mini retina 32GB. Automatical rotation to landscape mode is not working correctly. For example if you take the phone or tablet to landscape mode in base display and tap to Safari, Mail, Messages, the app will start but stay in normal mode, not landscape. Then you have to back the phone to normal portrait mode and back to landscape and only then the phone do the landscape mode. I have never seen this problem in iOS 7 or older.
    Could you help me anyone with this problem? Or is the problem generally in iOS 8.
    Thanks a lot
    Jakub

    Brian, thanks, but it's not a rotation lock issue - at least not relating to the rotation lock setting. It's just a general use setting. Right now i have my iPhone propped in landscape mode. If I now hit the home button, essentially returning to a portrait setting though my phone is still positioned in landscape, then open any other app that supports landscape, that app WILL NOT orient itself to landscape mode. It will stay in portrait mode. The phone has to be physically oriented to portrait, then back to landscape for the app to register landscape mode properly. This is a glitch, and not a rotation lock issue. it ought to be noted that this was not an issue in iOS 7 or any previous iteration.

  • IPhone 6 texts go stay in landscape mode

    Every now and then while texting, my messages randomly end up in landscape mode, and don't go back to portrait mode when I tilt the phone upright.  The phone stays in landscape mode.  I have to hit the home button and then go back into messages and everything is then fine.  The phone is set to auto-rotate and I haven't touched the setting, it has remained in auto-rotate.  I am running 8.0.2 (12A405).

    settings>general>message>raise to listen=off!
    and it will work

  • Notification center on white iPhone 4s only present in "landscape" mode.

    Hello,
    After purchasing a new white iPhone 4s, the notification center and tab, is not present or able to be swiped down when holding the telephone in portrait mode.
    However when I rotate to landscape mode, the tab appears and I can acces the notification center. Has anyone found a fix for this? I have tried resetting, rebooting, and restoring the iphone.
    Thanks

  • Has Apple come up with a solution to remove the iPad sidebar in Mail while in landscape mode?

    Hi, Everyone.
    When I review open Mail, I need to review it in landscape mode, so I can use the ipad cover's keyboard to type my replies. I would like to be able to hide (or even shrink) the sidebar. Unlike the "relative" privacy of viewing your email at your desk, the ipad is meant to be a mobile device: I use it on the train, I take it to meetings, etc.  It's annoying to have people looking over my shoulder or sitting next to me in a conference table able to glance over and, in effect, see the names of the last 11 people or entities that have emailed me  - with the subjects. (I work in HR, handling a lot of staff and faculty compensation, discipline, ando other politically charged issues - so privacy is kind of a big deal)  Yes, I could flip it to portrait mode and hide the sidebar, but that forces me to tilt my cover's bluetooth keyboard 90 degrees to the side and I am not yet proficient in typing sideways.
    I've seen mutiple posts over the past year about this.  I'm using IOS 8.1.3.  Has Apple resolved this or offered a suitable accommodation?
    Thank you for any replies.

    TThe answer is simple. No Apple has not implemented a way to hide the preview pane of the mail app when you use the device in landscape mode. I use my iPad in landscape mode 95% of the time as well, so that I can use the larger keys on the virtual keyboard. You can hide the preview of what the emails say I Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Preview>None. If you do that, at least you will be hiding the beginning of the message so that nobody can read it. I realize that's not your solution, but it might help.
    I also suggest that you leave feedback for Apple.

  • Apps won't switch to landscape mode

    Many of my apps won't switch to landscape mode (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Yelp).  I know that landscape works on my phone because Photos, Messages, Calculator, etc. will switch to landscape mode.  Also, I don't have the portrait lock on.  The apps used to switch to landscape - what's up?  Could it be because of the new update?

    Then the next steps in user troubleshooting are restore from backup, and if necessary restore as new. I would also ask, have you checked to make sure that the Orientation Lock is not on? Check in the status bar to see if you see a small padlock with a circular arrow around it next to the battery status. If so, you turn this off from the Control Center. Swipe upwards from off the bottom of the screen, then Orientation Lock is on the top row all the way to the right. White is on, black is off. I have also read that there is a screen zoom setting, either in Display & Brightness or Wallpaper. I don't have an iPhone 6, so I cannot compare. Supposedly in the zoom setting, it can prevent some things from happening, and I believe landscape orientation was one of them.
