Display orientation

In mobile apps, orientation refers to how content is displayed on the screen, either in portrait (vertical) or landscape (horizontal) mode. It ensures your app works seamlessly in both orientations, which is essential for making it accessible to everyone. Some users, especially those with disabilities, may have a strong preference or even a requirement for a specific orientation.

Display orientation guideline addresses the following violations:

Rule Name	WCAG SC	Impact	Supported Platform
App & Screen orientation lock	2.1 - 1.3.4 (AA) 2.2 - 1.3.4 (AA)	Critical
