After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
Just curious, is anyone else have a iOS 10 bug where screen rotation fails often? Just want to make sure it's not from dropping my phone. :/
Device: iPhone 6s / 64 mb / iOS 10.0.2
Problem Desc.: Doesn't rotate at all after iOS 10. 10.0.2 didn't resolve.
Thanks - looks as though I'm good now. Pulled up control panel as you advised and found the the padlock disabled or locked. Unlocked and now have screen rotation again. Thank you once again.

Fixed it!! Hard start your device! Actually POWER DOWN by holding down on power button and then holding down again to start it back up again!
I'm curious on the terminology here. In my experience, a "hard reset" meant that you were wiping your device. A "soft reset" was simply powering it down and back on again. Just for lack of confusion when providing advice, do most people understand a "hard reset" to be simply turning the phone off and back on again?

When I want to say "force reset" (holding Power + Home buttons), I say force reboot to avoid confusion.
Because for me too, a reset means wiping your device.

I have a solution to this issue, it fixes it for me without reboot.
1. Orient the phone the way it is stuck.
2. Enable the orientation lock (Swipe up)
3. Wait 5 seconds
4. Return to home screen
5. Wait 5 seconds.
6. Lock screen.
7. Wait 5 seconds
8. Change the phone to portrait orientation in your hand
9. Unlock the phone.
10. Remove orientation lock from step 2
This works for me 90% of the time and is faster than a reboot.
