Evony Pyramids Event 2026 Force Landscape Mode on Mobile for Faster Pyramid Hunting Android & iPhone Guide
By Favian, Empire Build Academy | Updated January 2026
Hey Commanders! The Evony Pyramids event is back and raging across servers, but if you're stuck hunting those elusive pyramids on mobile, you're probably frustrated with the tiny portrait view. Scrolling the world map feels like a chore—you miss spots, waste time, and lag behind top alliances.
I've covered this before, but with YouTube algo magic and fresh questions rolling in (especially "Does this work on iPhone?"), here's the easiest way to force landscape mode in Evony on your phone. This trick expands your map view dramatically, letting you spot level 5 pyramids in seconds. Works on Android flawlessly; iPhone is a bit trickier but doable.
Grab your phone, follow these steps, and dominate the Pyramids Treasure Hunt. Let's build that empire!
Why Switch to Landscape Mode for Evony Pyramids?
In portrait mode, Evony's world map is cramped. You see maybe 10-20% of the action. Flip to landscape, and boom—double the screen real estate for scouting pyramids, barbarians, or bosses.
Benefits:
Faster searches: Spot high-level pyramids without endless panning.
Better for events: Pyramids, Arctic Invasion, or any map hunt.
Mobile > Desktop? Sometimes! No browser lag.
Pro tip: Do this during the event for max rewards. Now, device-specific guides...
Android: Force Landscape with a Free Rotation App (2-Min Setup)
Android makes it simple—no root needed. Download a screen orientation app to override Evony's portrait lock.
Recommended App: Rotation Control or Control Screen Orientation
Both are free, ad-light, and Evony-proven.
My pick: Rotation Control on Google Play (millions of downloads, reliable).
Step-by-Step:
Download the app from Google Play (search "Rotation Control" or "Control Screen Orientation").
Open the app and grant permissions (overlay/service access).
Swipe down from the top of your screen to access quick settings.
Tap the app's tile/icon.
Select Landscape (or "Landscape Left/Right").
Toggle Start Service ON—it forces rotation everywhere.
Launch Evony, enter the world map, and rotate your phone.
The game loads in landscape after a 2-second refresh. Zoom out, pan wide—pyramids everywhere! No ads interrupting gameplay.
iPhone: Unlock Landscape Mode Natively (No Jailbreak!)iOS is stricter, but Evony supports landscape on recent updates. Apple’s built-in method works—confirmed by player videos.
Official Apple Steps (iPhone without Home button, iOS 18+):
Swipe down from the top-right corner to open Control Center.
Tap the Portrait Orientation Lock icon (padlock) to turn it OFF (no red slash).
Close Control Center.
Rotate your iPhone sideways—screen flips to landscape!
For older iPhones with Home button: Swipe up from bottom for Control Center.
Evony-Specific Notes:
Enter world map and rotate—map expands!
May need to stay plugged in for sustained mode (battery saver kicks in).
Update Evony via App Store or try Aptoide for full landscape support.
Test it: Search YouTube for "Evony iPhone landscape" for demos.
Doesn't work? Check Settings > Display & Brightness > Lock Rotation OFF. Or use AssistiveTouch for forced rotation.
