Native mobile app orientation

My team is building native iOS and Android apps in healthcare and I am looking for some guidance to understand compliance in regards to 1.3.4 Orientation when it comes to native mobile apps.  As I understand it, apps should not be locked into portrait mode and should rotate to the orientation of the device.  I am having a hard time finding apps that comply to this standard.  When I look at Facebook, banking & travel apps etc. they are all locked in portrait.  What am I missing? Any guidance is much appreciated.

Thanks,
