iOS 9.x and an iPhone 5S
I just upgraded the OS on my iPhone 5S to iOS 9. the result is that I no longer have a landscape view in some apps, notably Safari. I've looked for a new option in 'settings' to no avail. is this a bug?

- You need to reboot your phone. Hold the Home and On/Off buttons down together. When you see a white Apple logo let go. To start the phone, hold down the On/Off switch until the phone starts. You no landscape issue should be gone. If this doesn't do it, you can use iTunes to reload the OS.
- The same thing happened on my 5S when I updated to OS9. I also had another issue at that time, so I shut the phone down and restarted it, and this fixed the screen rotate problem. It never happened again.
- I am on iOS 9.2. Landscape works in Safari.
- If you run your finger up the screen from the bottom you should see the setting for rotation. It's a lock surrounded by a circular arrow. If it's lit up it won't rotate.
- Is it just safari that won't go to landscape or all apps? Are you sure you have not set the iPhone not to rotate?

the update I have is 9.1 and I have powered off/on. apparently this is not a bug in the download but a bug in the OS, right?Martyn wrote:

- With my iPad it's the oposite, it was fixed. On the previous update I had to turn it off and on to flip to landscape mode.
Hang in there, all will be fixed, it always is.
