You can learn how to prevent the iPad's screen from rotating when you move it.Older iPads have a physical switch that can be used to lock the screen orientation, but you'll need to choose the orientation lock option from the Control Center.
Step 1: You need to be on the Home Screen.
The Home button is located at the bottom of the iPad's screen.This will ensure that you don't have to worry about the app's preferences interfering.
Step 2: Make sure your iPad is in your preferred orientation.
If you want to use your iPad in a certain orientation, you need to make sure that the screen rotates to fit that orientation.Portrait and Landscape are the two screen orientations that are available.Portrait is ideal for reading articles or browsing websites, while Landscape is best for watching videos in full-screen mode.
Step 3: You have to move up from the bottom of the screen.

Step 4: You can use the "Lock" icon.
There is a black-and-white image of a padlock on the right side of the screen.The padlock will turn red and the surrounding area will be white if you tap it.
Step 5: The Home button can be pressed.
The Control Center will close if this is done.The orientation of your iPad's screen should now be locked.The orientation can be unlocked by re- opening the Control Center and tapping the red-and-white "Lock" icon.There are some apps that don't support different orientations, for example,Minecraft PE requires landscape orientation.
Step 6: If you have an iPad, make sure it has a side switch.
There are older models of iPad that have a side switch.There should be a switch in the upper- left side of the iPad's housing if you hold the device in its vertical configuration.You'll need to use the Control Center if you can't find a switch on the iPad.

Step 8: There is a Tap General.
The settings page has it on the left side.There is a list of the General options.
Step 9: The Lock rotation option is available.
Below the "USE SIDE SWITCH TO" heading, you'll find this in the middle of the screen.
Step 10: The Home button can be pressed.
The settings app will be minimized by this.
Step 11: Put the switch up.
The screen's orientation can be unlocked by the switch being in the up-most position.
Step 12: Put your iPad in a different orientation.
If you want to use your iPad in a certain orientation, you need to make sure that the screen has a rotation to fit that orientation.Portrait and Landscape are the two screen orientations that are available.Portrait is ideal for reading articles or browsing websites, while Landscape is best for watching videos in full-screen mode.
Step 13: Put the switch down.
