How to Automatically Toggle iPhone Orientation Lock for Specific Apps
In iOS, many apps display a different view when you rotate your iPhone from portrait to landscape orientation. Depending on the app and how it's used, this behavior isn't always desirable, which is why Apple includes an orientation lock option in Control Center.
However, some apps work more usefully with orientation lock disabled - think YouTube or the Photos app, where rotating the device to landscape provides a better full-screen viewing experience.
If you tend to stay locked down, you'll have to disable these types of apps in Control Center to get a full-screen experience every time you open them. Then when you close the app, you have to remember to turn orientation lock back on, which isn't ideal. Fortunately, you can create a simple personal automation that will take over this process for you for a specific application, so you don't have to keep going in and out of Control Center.
The following steps demonstrate how it is done.
- Open the Shortcuts app on your iPhone and select the Automation tab.
- Click the plus sign in the upper right corner of the screen.
- Tap Create Personal Automation.
- Scroll down and select "Apply".
- Make sure "Opened" and "Close" are both selected, then click the blue "Select"Options.
- Select the app you want the automation to use (we chose YouTube and Photos) and tap Done.
- ClickNext.
- Tap Add action.
- Start typing "set orientation lock" in the search bar, then select the script when it appears in the search results.
- Click Next in the upper right corner of the operation screen.
- Turn off the switch next to "Ask before running," then tap "Don't ask" in the confirmation prompt.
- Click Done to complete.
#Your automations will now be saved in the Shortcuts app and activated the next time you open or close any app you choose to use. Keep in mind that if Orientation Lock is disabled and you open one of the selected apps, the lock will turn back on, which may be the opposite effect you want.
