Viewing in portrait or landscape

You can view iPad‘s built-in apps in either portrait or landscape orientation. Rotate iPad and the screen rotates too, adjusting automatically to fit the new orientation.

You may prefer landscape orientation for viewing webpages in Safari, for example, or when entering text. Webpages automatically scale to the wider screen, making the text and images larger. The onscreen keyboard also becomes larger, which may help increase your typing speed and accuracy. Lock the screen orientation if you want to keep the screen from rotating.

Lock the screen in portrait or landscape orientation: Double-click the Home button to view the multitasking bar, then flick from left to right. Tap to lock the screen orientation.

You can also set the Side Switch to lock the screen orientation instead of silencing sound effects and notifications. In Settings, go to General > Use Side Switch to, then tap Lock Rotation. See “Side Switch” on page 127.
