To turn it off, just access the phone’s quick settings by swiping down on the screen. Once the adjustment bar is displayed, tap the vertical icon to stop rotating the screen and switch from landscape to portrait.
Other power consuming phone functions that are better off
Other than auto-rotate, other phone features can also consume power. It is then advisable to deactivate those that can be dispensed with in priority.
