IOS – How to stop iPhone 6 lock screen from rotating to landscape mode

iosiphone

I have an iPhone 6, running iOS 11. Before iOS 11, the lock screen would never rotate to landscape mode (similar to home screen, that never rotates). Since iOS 11 my lock screen has started rotating to landscape mode. I don't want this behaviour.

Can I stop my lock screen from rotating to landscape mode while letting the other apps auto rotate to landscape mode normally?

UPDATE

I have exact steps to reproduce:

  1. Unlock phone
  2. Open an app that supports landscape mode
  3. Rotate the phone to landscape
  4. Lock the phone while it is in landscape mode

Now the lock screen is in landscape and it is "locked" in landscape until I unlock the phone.

Best Answer

There is no separate setting that will stop only the lock screen from rotating to landscape while allowing the apps to change orientation.
