Why is my phone’s screen rotating on its own?

1 min read

  1. Check if your phone’s auto-rotation is turned on:
    Some phones come with an auto-rotation feature that allows the phone’s screen to automatically rotate when it is turned or held in certain angles.
    Check if this feature is active by going to your phone’s Settings and opening the Display menu. If this setting is active, turn it off and see if that resolves the issue.

  2. Check if the gyroscope is working correctly:
    If the auto-rotation setting is turned off, the issue may be due to a faulty gyroscope. The gyroscope is responsible for detecting the movement of the phone and triggering the auto-rotate feature. Check if the gyroscope is working correctly by using a gyroscope testing app available in the app store.

  3. Clean your phone’s screen:
    Another possible cause of the issue may be due to a dirty or dusty phone screen. Clean the phone’s screen with a microfiber cloth and make sure there are no debris or dirt stuck on the screen.

  4. Check the phone’s tilt sensitivity settings:
    Most phones come with tilt sensitivity settings, which allow you to adjust how sensitive your phone's movement is. The higher the setting, the more sensitive your phone is to tilting. Check if the tilt sensitivity settings are set too high and try to adjust them to a lower level.

  5. Restart your phone:
    If all else fails, restarting your phone can help resolve any potential software issues that may be causing the issue. When restarting your phone, make sure to power it off completely for at least a few minutes before turning it back on.
