Somewhere along the line (I'm assuming the move from iOs 7 to iOS 8) my iPad has changed to mute. I noticed it a while back when incoming message weren't accompanied by an alert but I wasn't concerned, so didn't look into it.

However, this morning I had a different need and did check.

I went to Settings/General/Mute and found that the usual slide switch has been replaced with a check mark √, even though the heading says "Use side switch to: "

There is small lettering that says "Rotation lock is available in Control Centre." However, when I look in Control Centre, there is nothing about Rotation Lock.

Under the "Use side switch to: " heading there is also "Lock Rotation" and I can change between "Lock Rotation" or "Mute" by touching them, although I can't have both.

Why don't I have slide switches for "Lock Rotation" and "Mute" ?

How can I get my iPad un-muted without having the screen rotation locked?
