portrait mode on display

This cannot _believe_ that Apple would not have the iPhone send portrait mode to an external display. I would like the display screen to be the same orientation as my phone. There is no gyroscope in this monitor but I also do not understand why monitors don’t allow you to change the orientation on the monitor.



These pictures illustrate my problem.


And this is what I’m seeking:


Why won’t the monitor turn the same direction as my iPhone?


Is there an external app I can download to change the video output on this phone?


Or ANY fix? This is really unbelievable to me.

You might want to try to rotate the screen on your iPhone XS.


Try these steps:


Rotate the screen on your iPhone or iPod touch


  1. Swipe down from the top-right corner of your screen to open Control Center.
  2. Tap the Portrait Orientation Lock button to make sure that it's off.
  3. Turn your iPhone sideways.


Or, watch the video I attached: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_GFpc_2Cpk
