This guide will show you the iPhone stop screen rotating trick when you turn the device on it’s side. On an iPhone the feature that you use to stop the screen rotating is Orientation Lock. Orientation lock has been available on the iPhone for years now. In every major version Apple decide to move the location of the icon. The icon is a padlock with an encompassing circle.

You little beuty!!!! I’ve been battling with my iphone Sat Nav for the last year as I use it on my motorbike, but it would flip upside down all the time, usually when coming up to intersections. This has fixed it. You made my day (and next time I get a major update, maybe I’ll read the release notes!!)

Your instructional writing skills are top notch, the best! Detailed, exact, and easy to follow. The best I’ve seen for iphone tips and how-to’s. …And you even include visuals—so helpful. Thank you!
Omg this is amazing… Slightly different on the new iOS 7.2 but rite direction thank you
Wonderful! Thank you! I made a lifehacker car-crib for my ipod touch, but having the music player in portrait mode is so frustrating! This is a great bit of knowledge!
Every time I time I exit out of an app my screen turns sideways whether my portrait orientation is locked or not. How do I fix this?
Love it man…your too good at this .
Thank you
thank you. it worked beautifully
Thank you!
I have a iPhone 6 & I was wondering how can I stop it from going sideways
Still can’t lock it in landscape mode. For some idiotic reason.
