hey guys Jason Cipriani here a CNET how to contributor and today I want to take a look at how to disable auto rotation on Android now this can be a blessing as well as a source of frustration for users if you slightly tilt the phone while you're using it and it rotates and you're not wanting that behavior to happen so there's a couple different ways to go about disabling or preventing screen rotation or locking the screen to one rotation the first would be going into the Settings app selecting display and then unchecking the auto rotate screen button what that does is locks the display into place so you will not be able to rotate your screen should your device rotate now if we go back and we re enable that there's also widgets you can get from the Google Play Store so I just downloaded a random widget I picked the first one that came up in the search results and right now screen rotation is on however if I turn it off I'm not able to rotate the screen which is a lot quicker than going through settings display and then unchecking a box and just to show turn it back on and there we have it so don't be stuck with a device that's always rotating on you leading to frustration you're able to control it through the settings or download a widget which is a lot easier to access than going through your settings display and unchecking a box once again that was how to disable auto rotation on Android this was Jason Cipriani make sure to visit us at how-to cnet.com you
