Pavel Jelic You can use the iPhone, like the iPad, in two modes - portrait and landscape. As for the Apple phone, of course we use it in portrait mode in most cases, but for videos, for example, we rotate it to landscape. Whether your iPhone is turned portrait or landscape can be detected by the gyroscope, which will instruct it to rotate the image if the system changes. But in some cases, a bad evaluation can occur, so the image can rotate even when you don't want it to. That's exactly why there's a portrait orientation lock available within iOS, right in the Control Center.

Hello, how to do it on iPhone 7? When orientation lock is turned on or off in the Notification Center, rotation does not work. Couldn't it be somewhere in the Settings that would cause the rotation not to work? Thank you for the advice.
