My iPhone screen doesn't move when I turn phone sideways

WWhen I look at a web page or picture, it stays in vertical position even when I turn phone sideways. How can I fix this?

Hi Eileen@@,
If your screen still hasn't been able to rotate, I would recommend you take a look at the troubleshooting information in this article:
If the screen doesn't rotate on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Some apps don't rotate. Some might use only portrait or landscape mode, or switch depending on the content. To test screen rotation, open the Calculator app that comes with your device. If the screen doesn't rotate when you rotate the device, try these steps:
Check for  in the status bar. If you see this icon, Orientation Lock is on. To turn it off, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to reveal the Control Center and tap .
If you have an iPhone 6 Plus, turn off Display Zoom to rotate the Home screen.
If you have an iPad with a Side Switch, turn the Side Switch on or off.
Get more help
If you checked your settings and your screen still doesn't rotate when using an app that should (like the Calculator app), follow these steps:
Restart your iOS device.
If the screen still won't rotate, back up and restore you
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

    You may have locked the screen. Open Control Center by sliding up with one finger from below the bottom of the home screen. The orientation lock control is at the far right of the top row in Control Center (looks like a lock surrounded by a circular arrow). If it is on, the same icon will be in the menu bar. Also note that not all screens will rotate -- the home screen for example will not.

  • Iphone screen doesn't change when lifted to talk

    I have a new iphone 5. The screen doesn't shut off when  I lift the phone to my ear to talk like my iphone 4s. Is this a defect or is there something I can do to change this feature?

    It is possible that your proximity sensor is broken. Take your phone to an apple store and let them have a look at it, since that is probably a hardware issue. It could also be a software problem and restoring your iphone could help, perhaps. But take your phone to an apple store, and if youre still under warranty, you could get a new iphone. Cheers

  • My accelerometer not working so screen doesn't switch when u turn it round what can I do?

    Screen doesn't switch around when I turn my iPad.is it broke?

    Is there a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If there is, then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (rotation lock or mute notifications), then you can lock/unlock the rotation by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad above the volume switch, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
    If there isn't a lock symbol then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • IPhone screen blinks non-stop when I turn on iCloud

    May I know anyone of you who have encountered this kind of problem?
    I took my phone to switch and asked the promoter to help me restore, eventually the iCloud works.
    However, when I came back home and I was trying to restore my phone, the problem exists again.
    May I know anyone of you who have faced this problem and any solution please?

    Since this is a hardware issue, the phone has to be checked by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider.
    Show them the charger and the USB cable you used.

  • TS3992 How can I back up an iphone when I haven't set the phone up for back ups & the touch screen doesn't work? The phone can receive calls (not answer) & the pictures & messages can be seen but touch screen doesn't work to unlock the phone or select any

    How can I back up an iphone when I haven't set the phone up for back ups & the touch screen doesn't work? The phone can receive calls (not answer) & the pictures & messages can be seen but the touch screen doesn't work to unlock the phone or select anything. We want to save/transfer pictures, contacts, and music to the replacement phone.

    Try backing it up to your computer with iTunes.  Connect it to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of the phone in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now.  Also go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases to transfer you apps and other purchased media to your iTunes library.

  • My Iphone 5s doesn't ring anymore (sms, whatsapp, phone call, reminder in the calendar, etc)

    My Iphone 5s doesn't ring anymore (sms, whatsapp, phone call, reminder in the calendar, etc) I can't find why.
    I trieds to go on Youtube and for that I have sound so it is just for the rings.
    Can somebody help me please?
    Thank you so much!
    Mary

    Have you checked your mute switch (right above the volume buttons)? If you see orange, it is muted and will affect the rings, but not the audio on YouTube.
    Just toggle the switch so you don't see the orange and check again.

  • My Iphone got wet and now when I turn it on it will not go past the apple logo.  Please help.

    Hi,
    My Iphone got wet and now when I turn it on it will not go past the apple logo.  Please help.

    Take it in for service or most likely out of warranty replacement. Water damage voids your warranty so you will need to pay towards the replacement.

  • Since backing up my iPad air and installing IOS 8.1.2 the screen doesn't move between landscape or portrait when I turn it. Any tips for getting it to do so?

    Since backing up my iPad air and installing IOS 8.1.2 the screen only shows the portrait view and won't change to landscape view when I turn the device. Any tips for getting back both views?

    If you see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the screen - then the screen orientation is locked.
    Try the side switch above the volume rocker first and see if that unlocks the screen. If that didn't work, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to the control center and the lock icon is in the row of icons at the top all the way to the right.
    If the screen is unlocked but still will not rotate, reset the iPad.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the button
