Hey people. I have a bit of a niche situation. I use my phone with my left hand. When I hit the full screen button in YouTube or Jellyfin or any other app that can go full screen, the screen rotates to the right. So, if I rotate the phone the “natural way” for me, to the right, the image is upside down. Usually it only takes a second for the screen to rotate to the correct orientation, but sometimes it just refuses, so i have to do a weird dance with my phone (portrait-landscape-portrait-landscape).

Any idea of a way to “fix” this? I use a pixel 8, if it matters.

Try turning the phone to landscape mode before tapping the full screen button. It works for me in YouTube on Pixel 7a.
