(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?

      Thank you so much. This was so annoying. Although another comment mentions that this appears to be specific to samsung devices, and doesn’t work on general android/aosp.

      For those the ADB solution another comment mentions probably must be used.

    Agreed, hate this so much! I used this ADB command:

    adb shell settings put secure show_rotation_suggestions 0

    Make sure to toggle ’ Disable permission monitoring’ if your device has such a feature (also located in Developers Settings). If that’s not there, the ADB command should be sufficient.

    Let me know if it worked for you :)

    If you long press on the auto rotate quick setting there should be a toggle for “Show rotate button at bottom of screen”

    Upper right? Man your phone manufacturer made some bad choices with their OS customization

      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
