(Android 16) I have auto-rotate disabled manually, my phone should be locked in portrait mode at all times. Yet somehow, whenever the slightest bit of rotation is detected this dumb banner pops up in the top right corner. It’ll cover up a button I’m trying to use, I’ll accidentally hit it and the phone will lock itself into landscape orientation. Then I’ll have to close everything. Grrrrr.

Is there a way to disable this modal? Or is it a built in annoyance?

    The answer is always buried deep in the settings, but then you have to figure out which settings to go to. I’ve got an issue, and I know I’ve seen it in a setting list somewhere, but I haven’t found it again. One day I’ll stumble over it, and fix it.

    Sometimes I’ll just browse through a setting menu, fixing things I didn’t know could be fixed: “Wow, I didn’t know that was an option. Kill that!”

      Search settings? I sometimes can’t remember where something is. I use the search box in settings.

        that tends to be the worst search function ever and rarely finds what you’re looking for
