Bottom row of icons on home screen
The bottom row of icons went from horizontal to vertical on my iPhone 12 Pro Max. I can’t figure out how to get them back to horizontal. Any tips would be appreciated!

Hello Ghuntsman,
Thanks for choosing the Apple Support Communities. it sounds like you may have orientation lock turned on using your iPad. here is a resource and instructions that will help you turn that off and get your dock back to the bottom of your screen.
Rotate the screen on your iPad - Apple Support
"How to rotate the screen on your iPad
- Make sure that Rotation Lock is off: Swipe down from the top-right corner of your screen to open Control Center. Then tap the Rotation Lock button
to make sure it's off. 
- Turn your iPad sideways.
If the screen still doesn't rotate, try a different app like Safari or Messages, which work in landscape mode, and check to see if your iPad has a side switch.
If you have an older iPad, check to see if it has a side switch
If you don't see the Rotation Lock button , check to see if your iPad has a side switch. If you have an older iPad with a side switch, you can set the side switch to work as a rotation lock or mute switch.
Go to Settings > General. Under Use Side Switch To, select the option that you want.
Check the app that you're using
Remember that not all apps support rotation. If some apps on your iPad rotate as expected and others don't rotate, the ones that don't were built that way by their developers.
Still need help?
If the screen on your iPad still won't rotate, contact Apple support."
We hope this helps.
Cheers!
