I know a lot of people like this feature, which i can understand, but i think it is annoying as hell to have yet another thing popping up in my screen i didn’t ask for…
Edit: turning off animations in developer settings also turns off the animation of the pop-up. Still not ideal, but might be a little more ‘bearable’ for some…
Depending on your device you can disable it by holding the Auto Rotate button from the settings panel and unselect “Show rotate button on navigation bar”
I should’ve included it in the first place, but i have the Nothing Phone 2a on Android 15 (added it in title). Here there’s no such option…
Can confirm there’s also no such setting on a Pixel running “stock” Android. Inclined to believe this is a feature specific to (potentially) something like Samsung’s OneUI. Doesn’t appear for most people that there’s an easy way to disable it.
Personally, I like it better than the one that used to appear next to the task switcher, but I can understand the annoyance.
