Sometimes when I launch the Adobe Firefly iPhone app I can rotate to landscape mode and sometimes I cannot. Why is that? Thanks. See screen captures.

If screen rotation proves to be problem with some Apps - and not others - you need to be aware that not all Apps are coded to operate in both Portrait and Landscape screen modes. Apps that have a fixed screen orientation will always* appear in the orientation determined by the App Developer.
(*) For compatible Apps that are intended for iPhone, iPadOS15 and later will automatically rotate the App to display in Landscape screen orientation. There is no manual configuration or setting to enable this feature.
However, Apps designed for iPad that are expressly coded to force Portrait screen orientation, iPadOS will honour the Developer-intended Portrait mode. iPadOS will not override the App coding.

If you are experiencing difficulties or inconsistencies with a specific App, you would be best advised to seek assistance from the App Developer - in this case, Adobe.

Thanks for responding. My question is - Why does it allow me to rotate sometimes? Please see screen captures.
