Final answer:
To prevent your iPad screen from rotating, enable the Rotation Lock feature via the Control Center by tapping the lock with a circular arrow icon. Once activated, the iPad will maintain its current orientation and not rotate automatically.
Step-by-step explanation:
To stop your iPad screen from rotating automatically, you can use the Lock Rotation feature in the Control Center. Here's what you need to do:
- Swipe down from the top-right corner of your screen to open the Control Center.
- Look for the icon that looks like a lock with a circular arrow around it. This is the Rotation Lock button.
- Tap the Rotation Lock button to enable it. You'll know it's activated because the icon will become highlighted, and you'll see a lock at the top of your screen.
Once Rotation Lock is enabled, your iPad screen will stay in the current orientation, whether it's portrait or landscape, and will not rotate automatically when you turn your device.
