Your messenger wants portrait. Android's system rotation lock only gives you one setting for everything — so you're stuck toggling it on and off all day.
This app remembers your preferred orientation for each app individually. Set it once, and that app locks to your chosen orientation every time you open it — automatically.

Set the screen rotation you want for every app.

Screen Orientation per App lets you control screen rotation app by app. Set YouTube to landscape, keep your
reader in portrait, use auto-rotate for maps, or lock a game to the angle that feels right. Save a rule once and
the right rotation is applied automatically when that app opens.

Key features
• Per-app rotation control – save a preferred orientation for each app
• Automatic app detection – saved rotation rules apply when you switch apps
• Quick global controls – Follow Device, Auto, 0°, 90°, 180°, 270°
• Overlay rotation buttons – change orientation without leaving your app
• Reliable foreground service – rotation control stays available
• Optional boot auto-start – restore your rotation setup after reboot
• Themes – System, Light, Dark with Material Design 3
