To turn off auto-rotate and lock your iPhone 11 in portrait orientation, you need to use the Control Center.
Here is how you can easily lock your screen orientation:
Steps to Disable Auto-Rotate on iPhone 11
The process involves accessing your iPhone's Control Center, as indicated by the provided reference.
- Open Control Center: To do this, swipe down from the top right corner of your iPhone 11 screen. This gesture brings down the Control Center overlay.
- Locate the Orientation Lock button: In the Control Center, look for an icon that looks like a lock with a circular arrow around it. This is the Portrait Orientation Lock button.
- Tap to toggle: Tap this icon. When the icon turns white or red on a dark background (depending on your display mode) and has a solid fill, Portrait Orientation Lock is enabled. This means your screen will remain in portrait mode and will not rotate when you turn your phone sideways.
What Happens When Auto-Rotate is Off?
When the Portrait Orientation Lock is enabled, your iPhone 11's display will stay in portrait orientation, even if you turn the device horizontally. This is useful for reading, browsing social media, or using apps that are best viewed vertically.
To re-enable auto-rotate, simply open the Control Center again and tap the Portrait Orientation Lock button. It will then appear outlined or in its standard color, indicating that auto-rotate is active again for supported apps and screens.
Remember, accessing the Control Center by swiping down from the top right corner is the key method to control various settings, including screen orientation, on your iPhone 11.
