How do I get landscape view on my phone: Tips and tricks to enable landscape mode on your smartphone

To get landscape view on your phone, simply rotate your device horizontally while viewing an app or web page. Ensure that screen rotation (auto-rotate) is enabled. On most devices, this feature is found in the quick settings menu—look for an icon that looks like a phone with arrows circling it. If your phone is locked in portrait mode, it won’t switch to landscape even when rotated. Some apps, especially games and video streaming platforms, automatically support landscape, but certain home screens may remain in portrait. If you’re viewing images or design plans, switching to landscape provides a wider, more immersive perspective, which can be especially useful in the context of room planning and interior design visualization.

Tips 1:

If landscape mode isn’t working, check your display settings or accessibility options for any overrides, and remember that some apps may not support landscape orientation at all. In those cases, exploring the same content through a web browser or a design-specific app may provide a better experience.
