+<p>Whenever the orientation of UI is changed, all applications rotate 90 or
+270 degrees (not only the foreground application). By default, the UI does
+not rotate automatically to any other orientation while opening or closing
+an application, swapping to another application, or in the case of embedded
+applications or seamless task flows. In addition, the UI should not change
+its orientation when another view within an application is opened.</p>
+<p>Applications that support only one orientation, and thus trigger automatic
+orientation switch, do not change the orientation of other applications. That
+is, if the orientation is ’portrait’ before launching a ’landscape-only application’,
+it is portrait even after exiting it. </p>
+<p>An exception to this rule is for the applications that are launched from
+the landscape application itself (for example, the <b>Go to gallery</b> option
+in the Camera application) or embedded within the application (for example,
+the embedded Browser within an image editor when downloading content). In
+these cases, one orientation should remain throughout the task flow, and the
+original orientation should be returned only after exiting the application
+that triggered the rotation.</p>
+<p>No queries or notes are recommended to inform or ask the user about rotation.</p>
