Step by step

1. 

   Open Quick Settings

   Swipe down from the top twice. The Auto-rotate tile (phone with arrows) was lit on ours.

   Done

2. 

   Tap Auto-rotate

   The tile goes dark when it is off.

   Done

3. 

   Or switch it in Display

   Open Settings, Display and scroll to Auto-rotate screen.

   Done

If you do not see this option

• Is it the same setting? Yes: after we tapped the tile off, the Display switch showed off too.

  

• Not under Display? Google gives Settings, Display and touch, Auto-rotate screen; Nothing OS 4.1 calls it Display. Source: How to make your screen rotate all by itself
• Tile missing? Tap the pencil under the tiles to add it; see edit Quick Settings.

If this does not work

• Videos stay upright? Turn Auto-rotate on, then turn the phone sideways. Source: How to make your screen rotate all by itself
• Screen turns in bed? Turn Auto-rotate off; the screen then stays in portrait. Source: How to make your screen rotate all by itself

About this guide

The screenshots are from our Nothing Phone (4a) Pro, the European model A069P, with Nothing OS 4.1 and Android 16 (build FroggerPro-B4.1-260907-1153-EEA), in Dark theme. Auto-rotate was on; we turned it off and back on.

Good to know

To change the tiles, see edit Quick Settings.

In short: Quick Settings, Auto-rotate tile; or Settings, Display, Auto-rotate screen.
