How to Automatically Set Your iPhone Screen Orientation Lock

How to Automatically Set Your iPhone Screen Orientation Lock

September 8, 2021
Apple added some useful new shortcuts in iOS 14.5. We have discussed one before, which allows you to place a new “take screenshot” action on any predetermined shortcut. Joining it is a new operation of your device orientation lock , allowing you to adjust when you need it (almost always) and when you don’t need it (Netflix time).

At least, this is my preference. You can use orientation lock in any way you like. To open and close it through the app, all you have to do is to create an automation to start the app, regardless of whether the opening direction is locked or not. Once you close the app, you can even allow automation to “reset” your orientation lock to your default preferences.

Before you begin, remember that you can always turn the steering lock on and off by swiping from the upper right corner of the iPhone and tapping the circled lock icon clockwise:

It’s easy to set the automation of orientation lock on or off for a specific application. Launch the shortcut application and click on the “Automation” tab at the bottom. Create a new “Personal Automation”, scroll down and click “Apps” when prompted for the type.

Before choosing the application you want to automate, make sure to enable “on”, “off”, or both, depending on how you want to customize the orientation lock. (If you want to change the lock to a setting when the app starts, and then reopen it when the app is closed, you can do a second automation at any time.)

Next, click on the “Apps” section “Select” in to select the application (or application) you want to use automatically. You can select multiple applications at once, for example, this is useful if you want to adjust the orientation lock for all streaming media applications. There is no need to perform separate automation for each individual application.

On the next screen, you need to add an action. Click the blue button and go to Script>Set Orientation Lock (in the “Device” section). By default, the operation is set to “switch” direction lock, that is, it is set to the opposite state before automatic operation.

If you want to force a specific “on” or “off” state, tap the blue switch link in the action and change it to “on”. Finally, do the same with the word “on” and change it to “off” if you prefer.

When you are ready, click Next in the upper right corner to check the automation for the last time. If you don’t want to be disturbed, please feel free to disable “Ask before running”. Now, depending on how you set up automation, you can enjoy using the orientation lock when you need it, and automatically disable it when you don’t need it.
