How to Enable Auto-Rotate on Google Pixel 7
This post will walk you through activating the automatic rotation function on the latest Google Pixel smartphone. Here’s a quick guide to enable auto-rotate on Google Pixel 7.
With the auto-rotate feature enabled, expect your phone to automatically adjust the screen orientation when you move your device between portrait and landscape position.
Alternatively, you can turn on and manage the auto-rotate feature through the accessibility settings menu on your phone.
- To access this menu, just head over to Settings-> Accessibility and then select the option to Auto-rotate screen.
Turning on auto-rotate typically comes in handy when using apps that require swift switching between landscape and portrait display orientation. However, turning auto-rotate off is recommended if you’re using TalkBack. This is because rotating the screen can interrupt the spoken feedback.
Auto-rotate not working on your Pixel 7?
In case you’re bumping into some issues wherein auto-rotate doesn’t seem to work properly on your Pixel 7, try to test the accelerometer. In most cases, auto-rotate problems in Android phones are tied to a busted or dysfunctional accelerometer. Keeping apps and operating systems updated is also recommended to ensure all system functions including auto-rotate are bug-free and working optimal.
Some apps however, may not support portrait or landscape mode so you won’t see the screen orientation changes even if you change your phone’s orientation while using those apps.
And that’s how you turn on auto-rotate on the Google Pixel 7 smartphone.
