Then you should know that you can set up some automation that will unlock and lock and the screen orientation when opening or closing certain apps.
You're viewing a single thread.
How do I get to this?
Open the Shortcuts app, you should have it unless you’ve deleted it.
- Select automation from the bottom navigation
- press the plus, in the top right
- create personal automation
- select “app”
- click choose and choose which app
- then toggle either is opened or is closed
- click next
- click add action >
- type “orientation” in the search box at the top
- click set orientation lock.
Now it should say “Turn” on blue at the start of the action, if it says toggle or ask each time, click it and choose “Turn”. Finally choose On or Off at the end of the action.
Click next, uncheck ask before running (otherwise what’s the point) and click done.
You sir, are a rockstar!
Happy to assist.
Is it working?
It sure is. Which helps a great deal since I set it to lock the screen rotation whenever browsing Lemmy on Memmy since it screws everything up when it goes landscape. So much appreciated!!
Anytime.
I have learned so much from strangers online that I feel it’s good to be as helpful myself to others.
You’re correct about memmy too in landscape.
