Then you should know that you can set up some automation that will unlock and lock and the screen orientation when opening or closing certain apps.

What's the use-case for this? Full screen videos already default to landscape.

I have it so it's always off unless I open my photo gallery. If a game or video player is landscape only it will show up as landscape only.

Idk about iPhone but I have a ton of other things set up too. Certain things like if it's night time (like actually sleeping times), if my battery gets lower than a certain % it will automatically switch to power saving and close all media and games I may have left open.

If it’s off then to much angle on my phone makes it flip to landscape.

Some apps do not go full screen landscape while lock is on.
