Need help with weird iOS landscape display issue

This display issue just started happening a day or two ago. It displays fine when I hold my iPhone in portrait mode, but when I rotate it to landscape mode then this happens:

As you can see, the Control Center is covering up the left side of the screen. Annoys the shit out of me when I’m playing hearts since I prefer to play in landscape.

I have went through every display setting in iOS and I have search the web to no avail. Do you one of y’all know how to fix this?

I’m sure you have tried this, but restart the phone? When I have display issues with my iPhone, this always seems to fix it.

I agree with Beancooker. If you haven’t, try a restart.

I don’t believe that is your Control Center, which you get to by swiping UP from the bottom of the screen.

Those appear to be your Wigets, which you get to by swiping from the left side of the screen. With the new iOS, you can also display widgets on the home screen if you want.

If you are doing that, maybe the phone is just confused, and a restart will fix it.

Thx for the replies.

I had rebooted prior to posting, and it didn't work. I rebooted again after posting and it worked

At least it's gone

try zooming down in that mode by putting two fingers on the screen and sliding the 2 fingers towards each other. Its possible the screen got zoomed in by accident.

This is the solution.

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.
