(Android 16) I have auto-rotate disabled manually, my phone should be locked in portrait mode at all times. Yet somehow, whenever the slightest bit of rotation is detected this dumb banner pops up in the top right corner. It'll cover up a button I'm trying to use, I'll accidentally hit it and the phone will lock itself into landscape orientation. Then I'll have to close everything. Grrrrr.

Is there a way to disable this modal? Or is it a built in annoyance?

I know you can disable these, let me see if I can find it again

Yeah, someone already posted the ADB solution. But i swear, there was a GUI option, no idea where though. Might have been a third party settings app like SystemUiTuner

There's one thing i truly loved about Samsung devices: there is an option to turn that off build-in (hold the rotate button in quick settings when rotate is off, i believe).
Sadly, a toggle is not present in AOSP (as far as i know)...

I appreciate it so much : P

This helped me find the toggle to keep it off
