iPhone safari stuck in landscape

When I open safari on my iPhone 5, it automatically goes into landscape and won't switch to portrait. My orientation lock is off, I have tried shutting down my iPhone, resetting network settings, and nothing works. Any help?

iPhone 5, iOS 6.1.4

Hello ampifed1,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

For more information on this, take a look at:

iPhone and iPod touch: Screen does not rotate

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3805

• If the issue persists, restart your iOS device by holding the On/Off button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the On/Off button to turn it back on.
• If the screen remains locked, back up and restore your device

Display does not go into landscape mode

• Remember that photos, webpages, and applications will not change viewing-orientation modes when iPhone is lying flat. Hold iPhone vertically to switch between portrait and landscape modes or vice versa.
• Verify that rotation lock is not on .
• To test, open the Calculator application while holding the iPhone vertically (portrait mode). The standard calculator should appear. Then rotate the iPhone to a horizontal position (landscape mode), and the scientific calculator should appear.

Note: Certain apps and features may support only one mode, landscape or portrait. For example, the Videos app plays video in landscape mode, and Reminders uses only portrait mode. Not all applications on iPhone use landscape mode.

Wow, Thank You! I have an iPhone5 w/ iOS7. Your recallibration method worked for me.

I could tell I was having the same issues around calibration. Apps that should recognize the rotation were not working as they should, they were stuck in landscape layout. But, until I read you suggestion on fixing it, I had no idea how to recalibrate. I tried wiping settings and everything, but had no luck. This was such an easy solution to something that made me desire watching a high speed impact of my phone and the nearest hard surface.

Thanks again!

I had the same thing happen to me with my iPhone 5s with latest iOs 7. Phone was stuck in landscape mode for any app that wasn't already locked in a certain orientation. I tried closing all apps and reopening them and tried restarting several times. Nothing worked. I decided that the accelerometer must be physically broken so I decided to test it with the "compass" app. At first, it was all messed up, but then I went to the "level" app which is part of the compass. After turning the phone on it's sides several times, the accelerometer seemed to re-calibrate itself and now everything seems to work fine. Try that.

Brilliant!! Thank you.

Your recalibration method on the "level-indicator" worked a treat!

By tapping the centre of the screen to zero when flat, on horizontal and on vertical did the trick!

Thanks again as my daughters birthday and the camera was only useful in one orientation..... You saved the day!

Update caused this in my Iphone 5 as well. Reset, quit apps, restored, all to no avail. I finally found this thread and its been solved. Thank you. I can finally get back to what I was doing.

Also, *** Apple? Why do you release updates that compromise the basic functionality of the device? All I wanted was time-lapse functionality in the camera app and it cost me 2 days of being frustrated. You're even on IOS8.2 and its been happening to thousands of people for months!

Sep 8, 2016 2:33 PM in response to ampifed1

I found today that if you remove the iPhone from the rotate status it fixes the issue. You can put it back to rotate and the issue doesn't repeat.

I hope this helps.

What is Safari Landscape Tab Bar in iOS 15 and How to Use It on iPhone?

How to Use Safari Landscape Tab Bar on iPhone

What is safari landscape tab bar in ios 15 and how it works.

How to Enable/ Disable Safari Landscape Tab Bar on iPhone

1. Launch the Settings app on your iPhone.

Use Safari Landscape Tab Bar to Switch Between Tabs Faster

Additionally, it’s also much easier to rearrange tabs in the Landscape Tab Bar mode. To do so, you can long-press and hold on a tab. Then, you can drag it from its current position and drop it at the desired spot, pretty much like on a Mac.

Why does Safari say , cannot connect to server , poor connection.

Safari: How to Get Search Bar Back to the Top & Disable Landscape Tab View

With iOS 15 Safari, the app has a whole new layout which brings many updates to the way you browse in the app. In Safari, the address bar is now located at the bottom of your iPhone screen, and in landscape orientation tabs will now appear in a list across the top. If you find these updates inconvenient and want to revert to the previous iOS 14 Safari layout, we'll show you how!

Move Address Bar to the Top of Safari

Remove the tab bar from safari landscape view.

Moving the search bar to the bottom of the screen has been one of the biggest changes to Safari in iOS 15. Luckily, if you don't like this change, you can switch it back! Safari now has two tab modes: Single Tab and Tab Bar. With Single Tab mode, your Apple address bar is displayed at the top of Safari and you must tap the tab icon to switch between tabs. With the Tab Bar mode, your URL address bar is displayed at the bottom, and you can swipe between open Safari tabs. Below, we'll cover how to get the URL bar back to the top of the page in Safari. 

How to Move Address Bar to the Top in Safari (Shortcut)

Perhaps you find yourself accidentally swiping between tabs or you find it disorienting to have the URL bar at the bottom of your screen. Whatever your reason, this is the fastest way to switch into Single Tab mode and move the search bar to the top of Safari while browsing. 

Now your Apple search bar will be displayed at the top of the screen. If you ever change your mind and want to revert back to the Tab Bar mode (being able to swipe between tabs is pretty handy!), follow the steps above and tap Show Bottom Tab Bar.

How to Place the Website Search Bar at the Top in Settings

This is a different method to adjust the same setting shown in the shortcut above. Below, we'll cover how to move your iPhone or iPad search bar to the top in Settings. 

The landscape tab bar in Safari displays open tabs across the top of your screen and allows you to tap and switch between them, much the same way you would on your laptop. This is a handy update, as it means you no longer have to tap the Tab icon to switch tabs while browsing in landscape view. However, if you feel the landscape tab bar is crowding your screen and cramping your style, you can disable this feature: 

That's all there is to it! Once you've adjusted these iOS 15 Safari settings, you'll be back to the previous browsing layout you know and love. You can also learn how to customize the Safari Start page to show the information you need.

How to use the new Safari tab bar in iOS 15 — if you want to

The new tab bar takes some getting used to, but it is useful

It's not as if the redesigned tab bar in Safari for iOS 15 has some enormously better capabilities on any one website than it did before. It does have a new way of moving between sites, but really what it has is a different approach, an unfamiliar design.

Apple wants tabs to get out of your way and that's laudable. It's more than laudable that Apple has brought the new Tab Groups feature to iOS 15, it's brilliant - and it's different. Everybody either loves Tab Groups or simply has no reason to even know they're there.

Whereas no one can use Safari without using tabs, so a major redesign is a very big and very unavoidable deal. Or it was until Apple introduced the option to go back to the old design .

How to switch between the old and new tab designs

On your iPhone, go to Settings , then scroll down to Safari . There's a straightforward toggle, showing one icon for Tab Bar , one for Single Tab .

Tap the one you want, and you're set. Just don't change it too quickly, give the new tab bar a chance.

How to use the new tab bar in iOS 15

When you open Safari, the page that you see first is whatever site you were last reading — and there's now a floating bar at the bottom. That bar contains the address of the site, plus a Share button and one to do with rearranging tabs.

How to go to a new site

• If the bar disappears, tap and pull on the site to scroll — and bring the bar back up
• Tap on the address of the current site
• When it highlights, tap the small delete button to the left
• Start typing a new address in there — or a new search term — and press Go

That all sounds clear, sensible, and easy, and it is. Except for how the tab bar is at the bottom of the page and you probably have very, very many years of experience of reaching for the top of the screen instead.

It will take you time to unlearn that, but there is an advantage to the new tab bar. You may even like it for this, it's a revised way of moving between tabs.

How to move between tabs on the tab bar

• Bring up the tab bar
• Press on it, then swipe to one side or the other
• You're immediately taken to the next tab, assuming you have more than one open.

You do have more than one tab open, you do have very many more. We're not judging.

And so this swiping is a lot faster than before. Previously you would have to tap the tab button, find what you want from the thumbnail images, and then tap to go into the tab you were after.

Yet you can still do that. Bring up that tab bar, tap on the tabs button at far right, and you get a view of all your tabs. Rather than the old Rolodex-style of thumbnails where you had to move forwards and backwards to see you what you want, it's now a Photos-style grid.

From that grid, you can tap to go into any tab. You can also tap on the small delete button to get rid of the tab completely.

What you can't do, unfortunately, is drag the tabs around to arrange them. You can press and hold on any one tab and get a menu that gives some sorting options, but they're limited.

Your choices are to Arrange Tabs by Title , or to Arrange Tabs by Website .

Except, if that seems a bit constrained, something else the new design brings is the ability to organize tabs more. This is crossing into the Tab Groups feature, but as you press and hold on any tab's thumbnail, you do get two particularly key options.

If you have six tabs open, pressing and holding on one gets you a menu that offers to let you move all of those tabs to an existing group. And you also get the option to move them all to a brand new group.

What you can't do is pick a few of the tabs and move those, it's all or nothing. Or at least it is at present. Maybe we already know something that'll be in iOS 16.

How to Turn on and Use the Landscape Tab Bar in Safari on iPhone?

Apple made serious UI changes to its native Safari browser with the iOS 15 rollout. Safari received a whole new level of aesthetics and functionality. For example, the Tab Groups offer exclusive management for handling tabs. Now, you can change the Safari tab layout with the new iOS version.

On the other hand, the Landscape Tab Bar provides more reliability while switching between tabs, accessing website settings, triggering Reader mode, etc. How to change the Safari tab layout on an iPhone?

If you are still struggling with too many Safari tabs management, you might not have found the amazing Landscape Tab Bar yet. Let’s find out the Safari Landscape Tab Bar, how it works and how you can turn it on.

A Quick Intro to Safari Landscape Tab Bar

With the iOS 15 release, the iPhone’s Safari browser got a new makeover inspired by the macOS Safari tab bar. What is Landscape Tab Bar iPhone, by the way? The Landscape Tab Bar in Safari is a tab bar right below the address bar at the top of the iPhone screen.

Safari Landscape Tab Bar is a Mac-inspired functionality that allows you to swipe through every open tab or switch between them smoothly. That’s exactly how you operate and manage Safari tabs on a MacBook or Mac computer.

How does the Landscape Tab Bar help you? Well, you don’t have to tap the Tab icon whenever you need to switch tabs and interrupt your browsing while using your iPhone in landscape mode.

Moreover, the Landscape Tab Bar adds more fluidity in differentiation among open tabs. For example, any tab with the Landscape Tab Bar enabled will show you an icon but also the title of the website.

Apart from that, the feature highlights the currently active tab in a light grey shade. Therefore, browsing will feel more convenient with the Landscape Tab Bar feature on iOS 15’s interface. Since the feature is on board with iOS 15 and higher software versions, you can now use it if you appreciate it on your Mac device.

Process to Turn on the Landscape Tab Bar on iPhone

How to turn on the Landscape Tab Bar in Safari on an iPhone? For your information, the Landscape Tab Bar feature is not active by default. Instead, you have to enable the feature from Settings on your iPhone.

Here’s what you need to do:

• Launch Settings from your iPhone’s home screen. The Settings app resembles a grey gear icon.
• Keep scrolling down the Settings menu until you find out the Safari option. Tap on Safari.
• Now, go to the Tabs section under the Safari menu.
• Turn on the Landscape Tab Bar toggle.

Now, the Safari browser on your iOS 15 device will showcase a dedicated tab bar that lists all open tabs in landscape mode.

How to Use Landscape Tab Bar in Safari on iPhone

Undoubtedly, the Landscape Tab Bar setting is a convenient feature for iPhone users who have to do a lot of browsing. However, you can stay out of the Landscape Tab Bar feature by keeping it disabled. By the way, how can you use the Landscape Tab Bar in Safari on your iPhone?

We hope you have already turned on the Landscape Tab Bar feature using the Settings application. However, you may visit Safari and find the feature not working. Don’t be upset because you might not have turned off the Portrait Orientation Lock.

The Portrait Orientation Lock is a feature that prevents your iPhone’s screen from rotating to landscape from portrait whenever you rotate the device. In other words, Portrait Orientation Lock keeps the portrait mode intact even though you rotate your iPhone.

How to turn off the Portrait Orientation Lock on your iPhone? Launch your iPhone’s Control Centre by swiping down from the upper right corner of the home screen according to your iPhone model. Next, look out for the Portrait Orientation Lock, which looks like a lock icon with a circular arrow around it.

Tap on the icon to disable the Portrait Orientation Lock. Now, you can navigate to Safari and horizontally rotate your iPhone to enable the Landscape Tab Bar setting. The Landscape Tab Bar should have kicked in just below the address bar at the upper portion of the Safari window.

Excellent Features Offered by the Safari Landscape Tab Bar on iPhone

With the Landscape Tab Bar option enabled, Safari lets you see all the open tabs simultaneously. In addition, you can easily distinguish between different tabs using the following information:

• The website logo
• A segment of the website title

Furthermore, the active tab will appear grey and more highlighted than others. Switching between tabs has never been this fast before in Safari on iPhone. Besides this, you can also quit a tab by tapping on the Exit or X icon next to the corresponding tab within the Landscape Tab Bar.

On top of that, re-arranging Safari tabs couldn’t be any easier. Just like Mac, you can drag a tab wherever you want and drop it in a convenient position. Additionally, tap the Tab Overview icon to glimpse every open tab in a horizontally zoomed-out layout.

Apart from this, the rest of the Tab Bar functionality stays the same. For example, tap on the ‘AA’ icon to access the toolbar, website settings, desktop mode, toggle reader mode, etc.

Wrapping up…

The Landscape Tab Bar is available on iPhone models with iOS 15 or later versions, such as iOS 16 and iOS 17. If you can’t find the feature under the Settings app, then make sure that you update the operating system. However, your iPhone should support the iOS 15 update. On the other hand, you can stick to iOS 14 if you like to keep your Safari interactions minimal.

iOS 15 Safari Guide: Tabs, Extensions, Search Bar, and Other Changes

Apple's Safari app has undergone a number of changes during the iOS 15 beta testing process. Apple started out with a radical new design that moved the address bar from the top of the app's interface and introduced a floating tab bar, but after a multitude of complaints, there were several redesigns that culminated in an option to undo the iOS 15 design entirely.

Design Changes

Safari started out with a new floating tab design that moved the address bar and tabs to the bottom of the iPhone interface, but now the design change is optional.

You can get to webpage settings by tapping on the Aa, or reload a page by tapping on the reload button. With this Tab Bar interface, when you scroll through a webpage, the entire Tab Bar collapses down so you can see more of the website. You can bring it back up with a tap.

If you choose "Single Tab" instead of "Tab Bar," the address bar and tabs will remain at the top of the Safari window, which is how iOS 14 works. The design of the Single Tab option is unchanged from iOS 14, with the same control bar available at the bottom of the interface. You can't swipe through tabs using the Single Tab interface and will instead need to use the Tab Switcher.

You can swap between the bottom Tab Bar and the Single Tab interface by tapping on the "Aa" button that's next to any URL.

Website Tinting

Available in the Settings app, Allow Website Tinting matches the collapsed Safari address bar interface to the website's colors to make it blend in better with the background.

• How to Turn Off Website Tinting in Safari

Landscape Tab Bar

With the new Landscape Tab Bar setting, when you use your ‌iPhone‌ in landscape mode with Safari, you'll see a Mac-style tab bar that shows all of your open tabs, and you can swipe through them.

Pull to Refresh

A downward swipe on any webpage in iOS 15 will refresh the page, and this is an alternative to having to tap on the reload icon.

• iOS 15: How to Quickly Refresh a Webpage in Safari

Tabs in iOS 15 can be saved into Tab Groups, which offers a way to preserve a set of tabs you have open without having to have those tabs active.

To make a Tab Group, just open up all of the websites that you want to include, tap on the Tabs button with the down arrow, and then tap New Tab Group from [#] Tabs. You can also use this option to create a New Empty Tab Group that tabs can be added to later. Long press on any open tab (or the main address bar if you have the single tab view enabled) to add it to a Tab Group.

To load up a Tab Group, tap on the Tabs button and then tap on the name of the group in the list. All of your Tab Groups sync across your devices so you can access them on iPhones and iPads running iOS and iPadOS 15 as well as on Macs running macOS Monterey.

Tab Overview Grid

In iOS 14, all of your open tabs are displayed in a card-like interface that you can swipe through, but in iOS 15, open tabs are displayed in a grid view.

Customizable Start Page

Safari is more customizable in iOS 15, and you can edit what's available on your start page. This is a feature that has been available on macOS, but is now also available on iOS devices.

You can choose to have the start page show Favorites, Frequently Visited sites, Shared With You content, Privacy Report info, Siri Suggestions, Reading List, and iCloud Tabs.

There's an option to use the same Start Page appearance across all devices, and a toggle to upload the background image of your choice.

Intelligent Tracking Prevention Improvements

• iOS 15: How to Hide Your IP Address From Trackers in Safari

HTTPS Upgrade

Safari in iOS 15 automatically upgrades sites that are known to support HTTPS from HTTP, which is insecure.

iCloud Private Relay

‌iCloud‌ Private Relay is a privacy feature that makes sure all of your Safari traffic is encrypted.

As explained in our privacy guide , ‌iCloud‌ Private Relay protects your IP address and de-links it from the websites that you visit by utilizing two separate internet relays.

By having a two-step process that involves both an Apple server and a third-party server, ‌‌iCloud‌‌ Private Relay prevents anyone, including Apple, from determining a user's identity and linking it to the website the user is visiting.

With this system, Apple knows your IP address and the third-party partner knows the site you're visiting, and because the information is de-linked, neither Apple nor the partner company has a complete picture of the site you're visiting and your location, and neither does the website you're browsing. Normally websites have access to this data and combined with cookies, can use it to build a profile of your preferences.

Web Extensions

Safari in iOS 15 supports web extensions, with web extensions able to be downloaded and installed through the App Store . Available extensions include content blockers, VPNs, and more.

Guide: How to use the new Safari in iOS 15

5th September, 2021 at 6:51 am by Ben W

• The iOS 15 update redesigns the Safari browser with new tab bar design and hidden features.
• There are ways to revert to the old design found in iOS 14 and older.

Apple has moved the address bar to the bottom of the display. Tapping it will open the Start page, with frequently visited sites and bookmarks. It also integrates the search results into the same page.

The relocated address bar is largely easier to use on larger devices, but can be moved back to the top. Apple provides the options in Settings > Safari to select the ‘Tab Bar’ design or ‘Single Tab’. You can also tap the ‘Aa’ icon on the address bar and select ‘Show Top Address Bar’.

Choosing the ‘Single Tab’ design will restore most of the functionality from the Safari UI in iOS 14. Similar to previous versions, the ‘Aa’ icon lets you change website settings and enable Reader View.

Pull To Refresh

To refresh a webpage in Safari in iOS 15, you can pull down from the top. This doesn’t replace the reload button, and you can still refresh using the icon in the address bar.

With the new design enabled, you can switch between tabs by swiping left or right in the address bar area. Swiping up and holding displays the list of tabs you have open.

This screen has been redesigned to show a greater number of tabs than before in a grid view. You can quickly close a tab or force touch on one to close every other tab.

Finally, Private Mode can be invoked by tapping the ‘X tabs’ link at the bottom, and selecting ‘Private’.

iOS 15 lets you save Safari tabs in Tab Groups, for easy access later on. For example, you could save multiple tabs in a group named ‘Work’ to ensure you don’t loose important webpages, while not having them open on your iPhone.

First, open up all the websites you want to add to a Tab Group. Tap the Tabs icon at the bottom left, then the ‘X tabs’ link. Select ‘New Tab Group from X tabs’, enter a name, then Save. You can then switch between these by tapping the group name at the bottom, selecting another group, or Start Page.

If you use Safari on multiple devices, such as an iPad, Mac, or another iPhone, Tab Groups will sync across those. You’ll need to be running iOS 15, iPadOS 15 and macOS Monterey.

Redesigned Start Page

Last year, macOS Big Sur overhauled the Start Page in Safari, with customisable backgrounds and more control over what appears. iOS 15 brings the same capabilities.

On the Start Page, scroll down and tap ‘Edit’. Here, you can reduce the clutter on the page by tapping the toggles next to certain items. You can hide or show Favourites, Reading List, Frequently Visited, Siri Suggestions, iCloud Tabs, Privacy Report and Shared With You.

Apple also lets you apply a preset background image or add your own. To sync the Start Page preferences between devices, tap the toggle next to ‘Use Start Page on All Devices’.

iCloud Private Relay

iCloud Private Relay is built into iOS 15 and will encrypt traffic in Safari and other apps. It works by sending information to a server that will removed all personal data, like IP addresses. This data is then sent to another third-party server that will assign you a temporary IP address.

Private Relay can prevent anybody from snooping on your web activity and linking traffic to a user’s identity. The feature will launch with iOS 15 as a public beta amid reports of internet connection dropouts, and will likely be turned on by default in a future software update. You can check whether iCloud Private Relay is enabled by opening Settings > Apple ID > iCloud > Private Relay (Beta).

Shared With You

This feature is system-wide in iOS 15 and works in iMessage, Safari, News, Apple Music, Podcasts, Apple TV and Photos. It works by displaying all links sent to you in iMessage in a Shared With You section on the Start Page in Safari. The feature will also support third party apps and ensures you can gather links sent by others so you don’t forget to open them. Tapping the sender’s name will launch iMessage where you can compose a response.

Other New Features

• Voice Search: carry out a search with your voice by tapping the small microphone icon in the address bar.
• Security improvements: Apple says Safari will now automatically upgrade sites to their HTTPS version if available.
• Website Tinting: Safari now blends the collapsed address bar with the colors of webpages, if they support it.
• Landscape UI: the UI that appears when using Safari in landscape has been redesigned to appear similar to that of Safari in iPadOS 15 and macOS Monterey, with a compact tab bar design

That's everything new in Safari in iOS 15. This guide will be updated if further improvements are made to Safari. Apple is expected to launch iOS 15, iPadOS 15 and macOS Monterey later this month.

iPhone Screen Not Rotating to Landscape Mode? Here's How to Fix It

Can't put your iPhone in landscape mode despite rotating? Follow these troubleshooting steps and workarounds to fix the issue.

Most of us have been frustrated by how our phones handle auto-rotation at some point. Occasionally, your iPhone might not recognize that you've rotated it, leaving you with a less-than-optimal viewing experience.

If you're turning your iPhone and it's not going into landscape mode, there are several possible issues that we will go over. You might also want to know whether it's possible to force your iPhone into landscape mode, as you can do this with some iPhones but not others. So, let's get started.

Troubleshooting iPhone Landscape Mode Problems

Remember, although all the methods below will let you change the screen orientation on an iPhone, your phone should theoretically adjust itself whenever you physically rotate it. If it doesn't, here are a few troubleshooting tips to try:

1. Check the Portrait Orientation Lock

Are you sure that you haven't accidentally enabled the Portrait Orientation Lock? You'll find this toggle in the Control Center, which many iPhone users accidentally enable but realize much later when landscape mode isn't working.

On an iPhone with a Home button, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to access it. On an iPhone without a Home button, swipe down from the top-right corner of the screen instead.

Here, tap on the Portrait Orientation Lock toggle (which looks like a lock with a circular arrow) to turn it on or off. The lock will remain in place until you disable it again.

2. Toggle Display Zoom

As we already mentioned, owners of an iPhone 6 Plus, 6S Plus, 7 Plus, or 8 Plus can rotate their Home Screen. If you have one of these models and it's not rotating, the Display Zoom feature might be to blame. To disable Display Zoom, follow the steps below:

• Open the Settings app.
• Go to Display and Brightness .
• Scroll down to Display Zoom .
• Go to View > Default .

Force Landscape Mode Using AssistiveTouch

You can use AssistiveTouch, an iOS feature that comes in handy when your iPhone's Home button isn't working , to force rotate your iPhone's screen into landscape mode, even if you're using the device in portrait mode. This is the only built-in way to force-rotate your iPhone screen.

To use AssistiveTouch, you first need to activate it in your iPhone's Settings:

• Go to Accessibility > Touch > AssistiveTouch .
• Make sure the toggle at the top of the screen is in the On position.
• Tap one of the three options ( Single Tap , Double Tap , or Long Press ) and set it to Open Menu .
• Return to your iPhone's Home Screen.

You should now see a new floating Home button on the screen. Perform whichever action you set to Open Menu in the above steps, then go to Device > Rotate Screen . You can force-rotate left, right, or upside down.

If you're concerned about the new onscreen icon being distracting, don't worry. It will fade when not in use, and you can tap and drag it to move it around your screen. In case you're new to AssistiveTouch, you may want to learn how to use the virtual iPhone Home button .

Unfortunately, if you force iOS into landscape mode and then move your phone, the landscape setting will be overridden. So, you'll have to use this option each time it resets.

The force rotate feature will not work on apps that do not support landscape view. Only the iPhone 6 Plus, 6S Plus, 7 Plus, and 8 Plus can rotate the iOS Home Screen. Therefore, there's no possibility of a landscape Home Screen on iPhone X or later, likely due to the Face ID camera position.

Use a Video Rotation App

One of the main reasons people want to rotate the screen on their iPhones is to watch videos in the correct format. Of course, videos are naturally better in landscape mode, but the nature of smartphones means many people record their videos in portrait instead.

It's easy to rotate videos from the Edit option in the Photos app on your iPhone. But not everyone keeps their videos in this app. Thankfully, some third-party apps on the App Store allow you to rotate your iPhone videos from portrait to landscape and vice-versa. One of the best video rotation apps on iOS is Video Rotate + Flip. It's free to use with ads, which you can remove with a one-time fee of .99 cents.

Once you've converted your video from portrait to landscape in the app, it will export a copy to your iPhone's Camera Roll. You can force-rotate videos of any length, and the app does not leave watermarks. It also works with videos in your Files app or those you download from Google Drive.

Lastly, because the videos get rotated at the frame level, the output is compatible with all video players on your Mac or Windows PC. Since these videos are saved to your Photos app, you can access them from iCloud.

Download: Video Rotate + Flip (Free, premium version available)

Is Your iPhone's Accelerometer Broken?

If you've checked all the solutions above but still can't rotate your iPhone into landscape mode, it's possible your iPhone has a broken accelerometer. The accelerometer is what tells your device that it's been rotated and then rotates the screen to match.

The best way to check if your accelerometer is broken is to open an app that rotates like Notes and rotate it. If that doesn't switch to landscape mode as it should, and Rotation Lock is off, then you might have an accelerometer issue.

It's a possibility if you've eliminated every other probable cause. If you suspect this, you can make an Apple Store appointment at a Genius Bar to get it handled by experts. However, if you don't have an Apple Store nearby, you'll have to take your device to an Apple Authorized Service Provider.

If your iPhone is covered by Apple's one-year limited warranty or you pay for AppleCare+ , you can get its accelerometer repaired for free.

Is There Any Other Way to Rotate Your iPhone Screen?

Unfortunately, there is no other way to rotate your iPhone screen into landscape mode. This is Apple's choice, as it discontinued landscape mode on several devices.

Because of this, many apps won't support rotating screens either. While some do, if you're trying to rotate the screen in an app and it's not rotating, the app most likely doesn't support it.

While some potential fixes exist, like removing the Portrait Orientation Lock and using Assistive Touch, if you've tried all the methods here and your screen isn't rotating, a broken accelerometer might be the culprit.

These iOS 15 Safari tips and tricks will make the iPhone’s default browser experience even better.

With iOS 15 , Safari has a few new tricks up its sleeve, including Shared with You, Tab Groups and Private Browsing. But like many apps, the neatest features may not be obvious. So to help you make the most of your Safari experience, we’ve compiled a list of the best iOS 15 Safari tips and tricks that you can put to good use when browsing the web.

If you’ve upgraded to iOS 15, then it’s important to get familiar with new Safari features. Here are the best iOS 15 Safari tips and tricks to help you browse the web faster and more efficiently on an iPhone.

Best iOS 15 Safari Tips and Tricks for iPhone

Without further ado, here are 11 best iOS 15 Safari tips and tricks to enhance your web browsing experience:

#1. Disable website tinting in Safari

iOS 15 include a new feature in Safari known as ‘Website Tinting’. This means the address bar automatically becomes the same color as the webpage a user is browsing.

The idea behind tinting is that it allows the browser interface to fade into the background and create a more immersive experience. However, the effect doesn’t sit well with everyone. It can be switched off though.

To Turn Off ‘Website Tinting’ in Safari on iOS 15:

• Start the Settings app on your iPhone
• Scroll down and tap Safari
• Under the “Tabs” section, turn off the switch next to Allow Website Tinting

#2. Quickly Refresh a Webpage in Safari

Within the address bar, Apple still includes a refresh icon that you can tap to reload the currently viewed page. However, iOS 15 has made it easier and more fun to refresh web pages when using Safari on iPhone.

A downward swipe on any webpage‌ is all it takes to refresh a webpage in Safari. This alternative to having to tap on the reload icon is especially useful if you like to keep the address bar at the top of the screen, where tapping the reload icon can be less convenient.

To refresh a web page when using iOS 15 Safari:

• Load up a web page in Safari.
• Scroll all the way up by tapping on the Status Bar.
• Pull down to perform a page refresh.

#3. Use Tab Groups in Safari

Tab Groups are like folders, and let you better organize all of your Safari tabs.

You can give your Safari Tab Groups custom names, and make them “Private” as well.

To make Tab Groups in Safari on your iPhone with iOS 15:

• Launch Safari app on your iPhone and open the tab screen. You can do this by tapping the icon located in the bottom-right corner that looks like two squares.
• On the tab screen, tap the option that tells you how many tabs you currently have open in the bottom-middle of the screen. This will launch the Tab Groups page .
• Select New Empty Tab Group to start a Tab Group with nothing in it, or New Tab Group from X Tabs to put all your currently open tabs into a new Group. Pro tip: You can also select Private beforehand to start a new Tab Group in Incognito Mode.
• Give your Tab Group a name, and then tap Save .
• The new Group will appear. You can switch between your Tab Groups by tapping the Group’s name at the bottom of the screen again.

To delete a Tab Group or edit its name, open the Tab Groups page and swipe left on the Group you want to change.

All of your Tab Groups sync across your devices so you can access them on iPhones and iPads running iOS and iPadOS 15 as well as on Macs running macOS Monterey.

#4. Customize Your Safari Start Page

Safari is more customizable in ‌iOS 15‌, and you can edit what’s available on your start page. When you customize the start page, you can select a background image to use, as well as choose new sections to display on the start page. These sections include your Favorites, Siri Suggestions, Reading List, Privacy Report, and more. With the right customizations, you can definitely make Safari on iPhone and iPad feel more like your own.

To customize your start page in Safari on iPhone:

• Open Safari app on your iPhone.
• If you are on an existing webpage, press the Tabs button and open a new tab .
• Scroll down to the bottom of the start page and press Edit .
• If you want to use the same start page customization across all of your iPhones, iPads, and Macs, make sure the toggle for Use Start Page on All Devices is set to ON (green). This ensures that you start page appearance and settings is synced through iCloud.
• You’ll be presented with sections for Favorites , Frequently Visited , Shared With You , Privacy Report , Siri Suggestions , Reading List , and iCloud Tabs . Tap the toggles for the sections that you want to display to ON (green).
• If you want to rearrange the order that these sections appear in, just drag-and-drop with the handle into the order that you like.

#5. Hide Your IP Address From Trackers in Safari

In the settings for Safari, you can adjust the ability to hide your IP address, so you can browse with the security you want.

To hide your IP address from websites and trackers in Safari on iPhone:

• Start the Settings app on your iPhone.
• Scroll down and tap Safari .
• Scroll down, and under ”Privacy and Security” section, press Hide IP address .
• Tap From Trackers .

#6. Use Live Text in Safari

Obviously, you can select text on a web page in Safari without doing anything special. But with iOS 15, you can select text in images as well.

To use Live Text in Safari:

Simply press-and-hold on any image in a web page until the context menu pops up. You’d normally see options to Share, Add to Photos, or Copy an image. But now you’ll see an additional option: Show Text .

In Safari, long-press on an image to bring up the context menu , then select Show Text to enter Live Text mode.

Select that option and the image will be focused on, with the text highlighted. You can then select it as you do text in any app: by tapping and holding , then dragging the selection box around the text you want. Just as in the Camera and Photos apps, it will recognize addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses.

#7. Move Safari’s Address Search Bar Back to Top

One of the changes in iOS 15 is that the address bar and tabs are now at the bottom of the page when browsing on Safari. If you don’t like the address bar living at the bottom of the screen, you’ll be happy to know that you can move it to its original position at the top, like it was in iOS 14.

To Put the Address Bar at the Top Again in Safari in iOS 15:

• Start the Safari app on your ‌iPhone‌.
• Tap the ”aA” icon in the left side of the address bar.
• Tap Show Top Address Bar in the popup menu.

You can also control this design change in Settings. Here’s how:

• Scroll Down and Tap ‘Single Tab’ so there is a tick underneath.

When you next open Safari in iOS 15, the address bar will be at the top.

#8. See All the Web Links Shared With You in Messages

It’s not always possible to view a link someone sends to you right right away. And even when you can, you might want to refer to the link again later. Having to trawl through your messages to find them isn’t fun.

Thankfully, Apple has addressed this issue in iOS 15. All the links that get shared with you inside Messages !automatically get bundled together in a new section inside Safari, so they’re easy to find — even days later.

To Find shared links inside Safari in iOS 15:

You’ll find the new Shared with You section simply by opening a new tab in Safari. It appears at the very top of the page on iPhone. To open a new tab, follow these steps:

• Launch Safari app on your iPhone.
• Next, tab the Tabs button in the bottom-right corner, than tap the plus button.
• By default, you’ll see only the most recent links that have been shared with you. To view them all, tap the Show All button. Tap any link to open it right away.
• Tap and hold a Shared with You link to view additional options, including open in background and open in tab group. You can use this action to remove a link from the Shared with You section, and to reply to it in Messages.

If you don’t see the Shared with You section, scroll to the bottom of the Start Page and tap the Edit button, then toggle the switch next to Shared with You to include it.

#9. Search using your voice in iOS 15 Safari

Safari’s new voice search feature is incredible. To search using your voice in Safari, simply tap in the address bar , tap the microphone icon, speak a search query, the moment you’re done talking, the search takes place automatically, without you having to tap or type anything else. It’s very convenient.

#10. Tab Grid

In ‌iOS 15‌, open tabs are displayed in a grid view instead of a card stack. The grid makes it much easier to see which tabs are open, plus you can tap on the tab button (which is two overlapping squares) to bring up the grid interface that shows all of your open tabs. Tapping on the “X” in the corner of any tab closes it.

#11. Understanding what Is Landscape Tab Bar in Safari’s Settings?

Inside iOS 15’s Safari Settings, you’ll see an option called Landscape Tab Bar, which is enabled by default. When you use your iPhone in landscape mode with Safari, you will see all the open tabs on the top, just like you see on a computer browser.

When Landscape Tab Bar is off, this thin strip showing your open tabs is not available.

How to browse full screen on the iPhone using Safari

When the iPhone 5 and iPod touch 5 went 16:9 there was a risk that, while browsing the web in landscape, the top and bottom navigation menus in Safari would not only look ridiculously long, but the screen would look far too short to be enjoyable. Luckily, Apple thought of that and included a new, full-screen mode for Safari in iOS 6 . Using full-screen, every pixel of that new, widescreen display is available to show you content and nothing but content.

Here's how it works.

• Launch the Safari app from the Home screen of your iPhone.

• Navigate to the page you'd like to view in full screen mode.

• Rotate your iPhone or iPod touch so it's in landscape mode if you haven't already.
• Tap the Full Screen button in the bottom right hand corner. (it looks like two diagonal arrows.)

• Tap the Full Screen button (now transparent) again to return to regular mode.

You can now browse to your heart's content in full screen mode until you choose to turn it off. How do you like that bigger screen now?

How to force landscape rotation in IOS sfafari? I try use fullscreen in mobile browser. It works in the android browser, but it doesn't works in the ios browser.  

You can't. Safari doesn't allow you to force a specific screen orientation. You need to design your app to be responsive to work on landscape and portrait. Or, as I like to do it, if the user switches to landscape show an overlay saying "portrait only fam" or something of the sort, so you don't have to bother designing the app for portrait and landscape.
