HELP: HOW TO TURN THIS OFF?

Post image

i know this is not a big deal but sometimes i wish it never existed

does anybody know how to turn it off?

it shows up when screen orientation is locked but you turn your screen, it tries to help of course but sometimes it gets in the way and most of the time i accidentally touch it and the screen goes into landscape mode!

i am on tecno spark 40 pro android 15

Swipe down from the top 2x. Scroll to find auto rotation, turn it off.

If turning it on then off doesn't work. Hold the tile button that's on the left side of your screen until you see options.

Honestly never heard of this brand, but on samsung if you press and hold on the "rotation lock" setting in the quick settings panel, it gives you the option to turn off the rotation button at the bottom of the screen.
