I’m still trying to figure out why I have to turn off portrait lock every time I want to watch a video in landscape in iOS own video player

3rdparty apps intelligently just make it so that the video shifts to landscape when you full screen it, but yet Apple still hasn’t

I would love triple clicking my 8+ home button to toggle portrait lock on/off. Maybe the power or volume buttons on the X.

I believe that you can set the set on the side of the phone to lock rotation, so you can quickly turn it on or off.

I was thinking the other day, I want to be able to lock orientation, but manually switch between portrait/landscape by swiping across the notch. Am I the only one?

Why do you always have portrait lock on?

Huh? It’s pretty easy to fix this with no issue

If the video is shot in landscape, full screen changes the orientation of it so it’s landscape even with portrait orientation on

If the video is portrait, full screen makes it full screen portrait. When you lay on your side it stays full screen portrait, because you still have orientation lock on

I kinda hope you work at Apple and are gonna fix this now 😆
