auto-rotate

Screen orientation adjustment

Auto-rotate is a device setting that automatically adjusts screen orientation based on how you hold the device—switching between portrait and landscape as you tilt it.

I turned off auto-rotate so my screen stops flipping when I'm lying down.

In aviation, autorotation is the unpowered descent technique helicopters use when the engine fails, with the rotor spinning freely to slow the fall.
