With a phone thats as big as theGalaxy S22 Ultra, you might find yourself wanting to rotate the screen from time to time.
However, there will be times when the auto-rotate functionality just gets in the way, rotating apps when you dont want them to.
This can happen because of the gyroscope sensor built into the Galaxy S22 line of phones, which has a tendency of occasionally being too sensitive.
Today, were taking a look at how you might enable or shut down the auto-rotate functionality on your Galaxy S22.

Galaxy S22: Enable/Disable Auto Rotate Screen
By default, auto-rotate is turned on, meaning that whenever you move your Galaxy S22 between landscape and portrait modes, the screen will automatically adjust.
Thankfully, there are two different ways that you’re free to go about turning this feature off, and the first doesnt require you to go into the parameters app.
Its extremely convenient being able to just swipe down on the home screen (twice) and jump into the Quick configs toggle for auto-rotate.
By doing so, you could quickly and easily turn the feature on or off, which can come in handy if youre switching between different apps or the webpage you are viewing is better when in landscape mode as opposed to portrait.
Galaxy S22: Enable/Disable Auto Rotate Home Screen
This next option applies to all of three of the phones in the Galaxy S22 lineup, as Samsung makes it possible for your home screen to automatically rotate.
If youre coming from a non-Galaxy phone, it can be a bit jarring to see your home screen in landscape mode.
Plus, theres the possibility that any of your home screen widgets could be affected and wont look nearly as good.
Heres how you’re able to enable or shut down the ability to have your home screen automatically rotate.
With this feature enabled, you’ve got the option to turn your phone into landscape mode and your home screen will follow suit.
This may be better suited for those who are using their phone on a desk, watching a video, and want to be able to go to the home screen and not have to change the orientation when navigating the UI.
Conclusion
Auto-rotate is one of those features that we often take for granted, and Samsung takes things a step further with the ability to have your home screen rotate instead of just apps.
Its something that not even the iPhone 13 Pro Max is capable of with its massive 6.7-inch display, just giving Samsung phones one more reason to go with the Galaxy S22 over the iPhone.
