Samsung Galaxy S20: Rotate screen

Depending on the application, the Samsung Galaxy S20's screen orientation adjusts using a motion sensor. While movies come into their own in landscape mode, portrait mode is the most popular for normal scrolling.

How to customize the screen rotation on Samsung Galaxy S20

1. Go to the settings menu of your smartphone and click on the gear icon there to go to "advanced features "2.Under the upcoming menu item "Movements and gestures" you will find the option to rotate the screen. If you select automatic screen rotation, the display will adapt to the movement of the smartphone in your hand. If this function is deactivated, the display remains in portrait mode by default, regardless of any tilts and rotations of the device.

The screen does not rotate despite auto mode?

Since the screen rotation can usually also be changed in the status bar, it can happen that you unknowingly deactivate the automatic rotation with a wrong click. If the smartphone's screen does not move despite the activated "auto-rotate", a defective sensor may possibly be responsible. By entering the code *#0*# in the number field of the phone app, you can get information about the functionality of the integrated motion sensor.
