How to Rotate Screen on Android

Rotating the screen on an Android device can be useful when you want to switch between portrait and landscape orientations for better viewing or usability. Here’s how to rotate the screen on Android:

Method 1: Use the Auto-Rotate Feature (Most Android Devices)

1. Unlock your Android device and navigate to the screen or app where you want to change the orientation.
2. Tilt your device horizontally (landscape) or vertically (portrait). Most Android devices have a built-in accelerometer that automatically detects the orientation change and adjusts the screen accordingly.
3. If the screen doesn’t rotate automatically, check if the auto-rotate feature is enabled:

• Swipe down from the top of the screen to access the notification panel.
• Look for an icon that resembles a circular arrow or “Auto-rotate.” It may be located in the quick settings or notification toggles.
• Tap the “Auto-rotate” icon to enable it. When enabled, the icon should be highlighted or change its appearance.

1. Once auto-rotate is enabled, try tilting your device again to switch between portrait and landscape orientations.

Method 2: Manual Screen Rotation (for Devices without Auto-Rotate)

If your Android device does not have an auto-rotate feature or if it’s not working correctly, you can manually change the screen orientation:

1. Unlock your Android device and navigate to the screen or app where you want to change the orientation.
2. Look for the “Settings” app on your device, typically represented by a gear-shaped icon. Tap to open it.
3. In the Settings menu, scroll down and look for the “Display” or “Display & Sound” option. Tap on it to access display settings.
4. In the display settings, find an option labeled “Screen rotation,” “Orientation,” or something similar. Tap on it.
5. You will typically have the following options:

• “Auto-rotate”: Enable this option to allow the screen to switch between portrait and landscape modes automatically based on the device’s orientation.
• “Portrait”: Lock the screen in portrait mode (vertical).
• “Landscape”: Lock the screen in landscape mode (horizontal).

1. Select the desired screen orientation mode by tapping on it. If you choose “Portrait” or “Landscape,” the screen will lock in that orientation until you change it again.
2. Exit the settings, and your Android device will display the selected screen orientation.

By using these methods, you can easily rotate the screen on your Android device to suit your preferred viewing mode or application requirements.
