You can also tap your iPhone’s Lock button, since your goal here is to “wake up” your iPhone’s screen.

When you tap this icon, you should see a line of text at the top of the Control Center menu that says “Portrait Orientation Lock: Off”; the red background should also disappear.

Note that some apps, such as the “Clock” app, will not support a portrait shift. Similarly, any apps that impose a forced screen rotation (many games do this) can’t be rotated back.

When rotating your phone, make sure you’re holding it either upright (Portrait) or sideways (Landscape) with the screen facing you. If you re-enable your phone’s rotation lock while in landscape mode, your screen will re-adjust to portrait mode.

Settings resembles a grey gear and houses all of your iPhone’s basic to advanced options. [2] X Research source

Note the “Home” option at the bottom of this menu; tapping it will perform the same action as tapping the physical “Home” button.

You can tap anywhere on your screen to minimize the AssistiveTouch menu.
