I now have an iPhone 11, which I just updated the iOS to 13.4. Since I got it, the app icons no longer rotate like they used to do on my iPhone 8+. What am I missing, or is that feature no longer available? Or, is it only available on the super sized (+) models?

Bob, this is rotation on the home screens with the app icons? If so, I don't have it on my iPhone 10s with iOS 13.4 either.

@Bob

I have never had that feature on my iPhone 11 Pro nor is it seen on my wife's iPhone 10.

I think you have to go back to earlier versions to see that - or, as you said, maybe it exists on the "Plus" and "Max" versions? Can't test that though.

Yeah, I only saw it on my iPhone 8+. I think it still worked in iOS 13 on that, but I can't remember? So maybe Apple removed the feature in iOS 13?

Never had a "+" version, but it's never been on any iPhone I ever had. iPad, yes, iPhone, no.

Yes, can confirm, only the 6+, 7+, and 8+ have the home screen landscape feature as far as iPhones go.
