The iPad’s ability to switch between portrait and landscape modes is one of its many user-friendly features, making it easier to view content in the most convenient orientation. However, sometimes the screen may not rotate automatically, which can be frustrating.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to enable screen auto rotate on your iPad. The screen rotation feature allows your iPad to automatically adjust its display orientation when you physically rotate the device.
This can be especially useful when watching videos, reading, or using apps that function better in either landscape or portrait mode. By default, auto-rotate is enabled, but it can be easily turned off or disrupted due to various settings or minor glitches.
