# Controlling orientation

The application's orientation can be controlled using the [DisplayInformation](https://learn.microsoft.com/uwp/api/windows.graphics.display.displayinformation) class, more specifically, the static [AutoRotationPreferences](https://learn.microsoft.com/uwp/api/windows.graphics.display.displayinformation.autorotationpreferences) property.

## Controlling Orientation on iOS

In order for the DisplayInformation's AutoRotationPreferences to work properly, you need to ensure that all potential orientations are supported within the iOS application's `info.plist` file.

> [!WARNING]
> On iOS 9 and above, the system does not allow iPad applications to dictate their orientation if they support [Multitasking / Split View](https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/WindowsViews/Conceptual/AdoptingMultitaskingOniPad/). In order to control orientation through the DisplayInformation class, you will need to opt-out of Multitasking / Split View by ensuring that you have defined the following in your `info.plist`:
>
> ```xml
> <key>UIRequiresFullScreen</key>
> <true/>
> ```
