Google Phone’s “Keep Portrait Mode on Calls” is Here! Let’s Know How to Enable It?
Google has released a new update for its Phone app, introducing the “Keep Portrait Mode on Calls” feature. Unlike other Google apps, the Phone app doesn’t receive frequent updates, which is a good thing, as constant changes to a phone dialer app can be quite frustrating for users.
Google Phone’s New “Keep Portrait Mode on Calls” Mode
If your Android phone has the Google Phone app pre-installed, or if you use the Google Phone app as the default on other phones like Samsung, you may have noticed that during a call, your screen automatically rotates from portrait to landscape mode when you accidentally rotate the phone.
To prevent this problem, Google has added a new “Keep Portrait Mode on Calls” option to its Phone app. When enabled, your calling screen will remain in portrait mode throughout the call. Users have been waiting for this feature for a long time, and finally, Android users can enable it today.
How to Enable “Keep Portrait Mode on Calls” in Google Phone App on Android
If you want to stop your Android phone’s calling screen from accidentally rotating into landscape mode, you only need to activate the “Keep portrait mode” setting. For this, first go to the Google Play Store and update your Google Phone app to the very latest version. Then, follow the steps mentioned below one by one.
