Thank you Dan, this literally changed my life. It completely transformed my daily routine and productivity. Prior to discovering this tip, I often struggled with managing my time efficiently and staying organized. However, after implementing the advice, I found myself significantly more organized and in control of my schedule. This newfound efficiency not only enhanced my productivity but also alleviated stress and allowed me to allocate more time to pursue my passions and spend with loved ones. The impact of this small iPhone tip resonated beyond just technology; it catalyzed a positive shift in my overall lifestyle, empowering me to accomplish more and live with greater intention.
Brilliant and it works! That drives me nuts when I’m watching something on discovery plus and I tip my screen barely for it to pause and then I have hit play and mess with orientation lock only to be stuck when I leave the app.
Be careful if you use TH-cam premium and turn off your phone while a video was playing. I just did this and when you unlock and go back into YT the screen lock is toggled on, so it will be the opposite of what you want (untoggling when you leave). So just be mindful of that if you use YT in the background a lot and the phone is off

@@maheAT now you’re just trying to save it… Following your own logic then; yes the automation could fail, the same way as literally any other app could do, or the same way your device’s battery could fail and suddenly die; or the device itself could malfunction, or overheat, or some of its components could explode.

I switched from my pixel to the iPhone 15 pro max earlier this year and this issue was one of my biggest gripes. Although I do give thanks for the useful tip, it’s silly that apple can’t just take the android route and have the icon to switch orientation when it’s locked, instead you have to take these extra added steps to achieve the same results like you can natively in android.
You have to set a separate automation to switch the portrait lock BACK to normal setting, when exiting the app too. If not, it won’t automatically do it. Hope that helps
can you keep the orientation lock off but rotate the screen with a press of a button when you turn the phone horizontally? I mean when you just want the TH-cam or gallery app to be locked on landscape so they would stay like that even when you lie down on one side. is there a button that would appear when it detects that the phone is on landscape to switch and lock it in that orientation?
Or, in accessabilities add bactap to change orientation, so you are not glued to default orientation. Want landscape - double tap on the back of the phone. Want back to portrait - just double tap again.
It's annoying, specially when using the phone lying down. I don't like using messaging apps in landscape, for example. So, many times I'm watching something on youtube landscape and when I receive a text and want to respond it, the messaging app will open landscaped. With this, it stops happening.
Doesn't work for me. It never turns it back on even if I change it to 2 separate automations OK it works but only if I immediately completely close the app. Sending it to the background and even closing it after sending it to the background doesn't trigger it
Samsung has this feature where it detects if your phone is in landscape and it shows a small rotate button on the lower portion of the screen if you like to unlock the orientation.
Dunno what I am doing wrong. Perhaps I have some Settings option selected somewhere, but I have have followed these steps several times without success. Nothing happens, and I can't even find it when I search for the Automation I thought I just created. Any thoughts?
That’s incredibly useful. Thank you.
This is the first actually useful thing I’ve learned in a short
„My preferred apps are TH-cam, photos and safari private browsing“ 😂👌🏼
😂… now we all know what that means. Let the meat rest my guy.
I have another addition to that shortcut. When the phone is already held horizontally (when laying in bed) it wont toggle orientation lock!
how do you set that up?
How?

I like it especially for TH-cam thanks
This was very useful
But that only works as long as you don't change orientation lock manually, then it's reversed until you change it manually again.
but, why would you go and change it manually after taking the time to set this all up specifically so it will be done automatically?

Why didn’t I think of that. Geez. I’ve been needing this for ages. Mostly because it’s annoying when I forget to turn it back on.

I’ve been wanting this feature since
jailbreaking days. Thank you!
It only works if u put “notify when done”, if not, i will deactivate the lock when u enter the app, but not if u leave
Uuuu this is actually useful!
thank u bro it’s very helpful ❤
Very helpful. Drives me crazy when the screen rotates when I don’t want it to. Thanks
CLUTCH!!!!!😮💨
Thanks for the tip 😊
Thank you!!
It didn’t set it back on when leaving the app. Am I doing something wrong?
Same!
You have to set a separate automation to switch the portrait lock BACK to normal setting, when exiting the app too. If not, it won’t automatically do it. Hope that helps
Tried it with two automations and still doesn’t do it…
Very useful, thank you.
Super useful. Going to setup rn
This fixes such a constant issue for me. Thank yall so much
Omg this is like the most awesome and useful iPhone tip Ive ever heard!!
I leave screen lock on all the time aside from watching Apple TV stuff
So genius and so simple but I never ever would have thought of it. Thank you
OMG this is lifesaver! Thank u, really!!
Thank you!
Man said tipp is usefull and it actually is usefull! Good job!
Have been using this for quite some time now it’s really great until u start using all switcher
Incredibly useful. Thanks
I set the Action buttong to toggle Screen Orientation
He’s right. This is very useful!
This is really good! Thanks a million.
Very useful
Legitimately very useful tip. TY!
I have an iPhone 6s with iOS 15.8.2 and that worked for me. Thanks you a lot for this tip. 😍🤗😊
THAT IS AMAZING! Genius!
it would be better to only turn the screen lock off of it was off before the user opened the app
Awesome, thanks

Why keep orientation constantly locked, though? 🤔
It changed the way I use my iPhone
Great Tip. Thanks❤️
I only ever use orientation lock when I’m in bed watching something. Some people have it on all the time? 😅
So useful, thank you!
Omg! Thank you!
Or, or, hear me out. Use your assistive touch to press one to lock and press again to unlock the screen orientation. How about that?
How did you set the weather app into the control center?
Or, in accessabilities add bactap to change orientation, so you are not glued to default orientation. Want landscape - double tap on the back of the phone. Want back to portrait - just double tap again.
Thank you, this is a must to have. You really saved me time and effort 🙏🏻😇
Great for messages app
Damn, I didn’t know I could do that, thank you 🙏 I really have to look into the shortcuts app more and find me some more cool tricks.
Love this one
Real question there. Why would people lock orientation anyway ? I never get it
I do.
It's annoying, specially when using the phone lying down. I don't like using messaging apps in landscape, for example. So, many times I'm watching something on youtube landscape and when I receive a text and want to respond it, the messaging app will open landscaped. With this, it stops happening.
very useful, thanks!
Thanks, very useful for me.
Thanks ❤
Back tap is easier than this though right?
Great man ❤
Wooow, customizability on an Apple. Huh, hopefully it's not too complicated for Apple users to comprehend.
Actually a good shortcut
What’s on the back on his iPhone?
clutchhhh tip
thanks!!!!
Doesn't work for me. It never turns it back on even if I change it to 2 separate automations
OK it works but only if I immediately completely close the app. Sending it to the background and even closing it after sending it to the background doesn't trigger it
Of course yes!
Thank you

Here before some Android user comes and says Android had all these features years ago.
ha?
Samsung has this feature where it detects if your phone is in landscape and it shows a small rotate button on the lower portion of the screen if you like to unlock the orientation.
y do peeps keep orientation locked?
this works great for me, very handy
such pain in the aas, why not apply screen rotate on assist button, landscape mode only barely uses for photos app
Why even use orientation lock at all is beyond me. 😂
Apple is king of “we’ll give you the tools to do the things we should have done in the first place”
Thanks
Dunno what I am doing wrong. Perhaps I have some Settings option selected somewhere, but I have have followed these steps several times without success. Nothing happens, and I can't even find it when I search for the Automation I thought I just created. Any thoughts?
Sick
I’m not sure if you’re aware but you just changed my life!
awesome
what will happen if you exit TH-cam while still on landscape?
will it revert to portrait?
lets go Throttle House!! And I am James
Woww
That's pretty handy. Anyone know of an equivalent app for Android?
Jes but sometimes not working
I forgot to say this is useful 😊. I'm into automations myself.
game changer
Merci 🙏
it locked on the vertical position upon opening. Fail
You have to set it Locked before running the automation. Otherwise, it'll do the exact opposite.
