You turn and shake your iPad wildly back and forth a few more times, people around you look at you strangely, and all because your screen remains tilted. Irritating problem but often easy to solve! In this blog, you’ll learn how:
Steps Step 1: Make sure rotation lock is disabled: swipe down from the top right corner of your screen to open the control panel. Then tap the Rotation Lock button It is also possible that your iPad has a software bug. You often solve this by forcibly rebooting it. Your data will not be erased on a forced reboot so a backup is not necessary. Follow these steps to perform a hard reset:
Models without a home button: briefly press the volume up button. Press the volume down button briefly. Then press and hold the power button until the iPad reboots.
Models with home button: press and hold the home button and the top button (or side button) at the same time until you see the Apple logo.
