Not sure how standard this is, but on Pixel phones the default is no auto rotation, but when the phone detects rotation it will display a tiny rotate button in the corner of the screen for just a few seconds. Best of both worlds IMO.

That's a stock Android feature, or at least it's on Motorola phones. Handy button.

That's a stock Android feature, I have that on LineageOS

That rotate button is incredibly annoying. I turned off auto-rotate for a reason and the button obscures other information displayed in that corner of the screen. Wish I could turn the button off too.

What information is in your navigation bar?

There is no navigation bar on the Pixel 8. It uses some sort of gesture-based system instead.

Not pixel specific, stock android. You can enable the old on-screen buttons for accessibility reasons or if you're a grumpy old sod who hates change.

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

Well fortunately you can reenable the old buttons too!

It’s still a navigation bar it’s just transparent. If there’s important information down there that can get blocked by it then the developers of the app did something wrong.

[-] taladar@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

It is simply the bottom of the app window. There is nothing app-specific to this behaviour, lots of apps show information in the lower 20-30 pixels of their window.

[-] hulemy@ani.social 2 points 1 year ago

My android does that too, but some apps ignore it and it's extremely annoying, especially when lying in bed (looking at you, Sleep for Android)

[-] Octopus1348@lemy.lol 1 points 1 year ago

On stock Android and Samsung, the default is auto rotation, but when I turn it off, exactly that happens. That's why I turn it off.
