iPad: Screen stops rotating - What to do?

Apple has equipped its devices with the feature that the screen rotates along with the iPad when you turn it. If you hold your iPad in landscape mode, the screen should also be in landscape mode. However, if the iPad screen no longer rotates, the problem can be easily solved.

How to get your iPad screen to rotate again

If your iPad's screen no longer rotates, it may be due to several things. First, check if the orientation lock is really disabled.

1. To do this, swipe down from the top right corner of your iPad. On older models, swipe up from the bottom instead.
2. There is a sign here that consists of a lock and a rotating arrow. If the symbol lights up red, your orientation lock is activated.
3. Tap the symbol to make your screen rotate again.

Otherwise, a forced restart of your iPad often helps as well.

Where do you find "Reduce motion"?

If the problem occurs again afterwards, you should take a closer look at the "Reduce motion" setting.

1. Open the settings.
2. Go to "Operating aids". You recognize the icon by a person surrounded by a circle.
3. Tap on "Motion > Reduce Motion" and turn off the function. Nun braucht Ihr iPad zwar wieder mehr Akku, doch bei einigen Nutzern hat dieser simple Trick dazu geführt, dass der Bildschirm des iPads nur noch selten oder gar nicht mehr einfriert.
