Turn Off Auto-Rotation on iPhone/iPad [HowTo]



I have my iPhone 4 since 2 November and I got annoyed by its' auto-rotation feature, once I use to text in bed - the screen was always turning around, how annoying is that?

Let's stop babbling and just get to the point...

Follow these steps to turn an iDevice's auto-rotation off:



—————————————————————

Step 1: Double tap the Home button until the multitasking dock comes out.

Step 2: Slide the dock to the right until you see the music controls.

Step 3: Tap the lock button (it has an arrow surrounding it).

—————————————————————

How to turn it off on iOS 7:

Simply slide your finger from the bottom of the screen and tap the little lock (last button on the right).
If the lock is white, then it's already off. If the lock is greyed out, then the rotation is on. So make sure the button is white.

—————————————————————

Now auto-rotation is locked and that means your screen won't turn around again!

Note: To get auto-rotation feature back, just follow these same steps to unlock  the screen.
Note 2: To be sure auto-rotation is disabled, look for a small lock next to the battery icon. If it's there, auto-rotation is off.
