I have an iPad 6th generation running iOS 14.6. How do you lock and unlock the screen rotation? The instructions I’m seeing online say to swipe down from the upper right corner to access the Control Center. This gives me a search box, not the Control Center. Accessing the Control Center from Settings, there is no rotation option. Help, please.

Make sure you’re swiping from the top right of your screen and not just from the center. You essentially need to be pulling down from the bezel at the top right of the display in order to activate control center. Watch this video and it will show exactly what to do in order to access control center provided that you’re iPad is running iOS 12 or newer. Otherwise you’ll need to access control center by pulling up from the bottom of the display.
