There's one in iOS as well.



Only for portrait mode. Never made sense to me why they only allow locking in one orientation and not landscape.


It's "lock rotation", not "lock portrait". If you have the device in landscape when you lock it, it will lock in landscape.


I just did it on an iphone 6S Plus and an iPhone XS both with ios13+, and while in landscape, if I press lock rotation, it changes to portrait and then locks it.

I’ve experienced this since iPhone 3G or iPhone 4, so I assume this is how they have designed it.

This website shows a workaround for it:

No, the feature is called "Portrait Orientation Lock" - it will only lock it in portrait mode and not landscape.
