IOS – iPad does not do automatic screen rotation

I've a problem with my iPad. After I updated to the lastest version of iOS the automatic screen rotation doesn't work anymore. I tried to restart my iPad because I supposed that it was only a system bug but it was not like I thought. How can I fix this?

Is rotation lock on? Open Control Center by swiping from the top right of the screen (iOS 12+), then tap the rotation lock icon on the top row.

If you see in the status bar, Orientation Lock is on. To turn it off, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open the Control Center, then tap .

If you have an iPad with a Side Switch and don't see the Rotation Lock icon in Control Center, make sure that the Side Switch is off.

If the screen doesn‘t rotate on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
