I know a lot of people like this feature, which i can understand, but i think it is annoying as hell to have yet another thing popping up in my screen i didn’t ask for…

Edit: turning off animations in developer settings also turns off the animation of the pop-up. Still not ideal, but might be a little more ‘bearable’ for some…

      If you have rotation lock enabled then you rotate your phone, it pops up. You can tap it to rotate the screen on this one off occasion instead of having rotate on all the time.

      It’s a little button that pops up in the bottom left corner when you’ve rotated your phone but have auto rotate off on newish versions of Android. If you push it, it rotated to landscape or portrait depending on what you’re already in. It’s animated and shows an icon of a phone rotating, which can be quite distracting at first or on certain flavours/brand implementations of Android. It animated about 3 times in stock Android before sticking around for a few extra secs then vanishing until you rotate back to your chosen orientation and back

        If you’re planning on replacing the original OS anyway, why does it matter how modified from stock Android it is?

        Got a Pixel with GrapheneOS and there’s no apparent way to disable the button.
