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.

+

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.

+

An exception to this rule is for the applications that are launched from +the landscape application itself (for example, the Go to gallery 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.

+

No queries or notes are recommended to inform or ask the user about rotation.
