Find Auto-rotate, and tap on it to turn it off (if it was on already). Pull the notification bar all the way down until you see the quick settings tiles. How does it work? Well, first you actually do need to turn screen auto-rotate off.

A new smart rotation tool in Android 9 Pie makes it so that you can leave the auto-rotate toggle turned off all the time. Tired of your screen constantly rotating when you shift orientation? Auto-rotate is a handy feature, but it can be a bit too sensitive. Keep Auto-rotate off Julian Chokkattu/Digital Trends It’s unlikely you’ll need to use this feature much, but it can be very handy in certain scenarios. This turns Smart Lock off, doesn’t let you use the fingerprint sensor, and hides notifications from the lock screen.

Now when you press and hold the power button, you’ll see an option to “Lockdown” the phone. Head over to Settings > Security & Location > Lock Screen Preferences > and toggle on Show Lockdown Option. Google has made it easy, but you’ll need to turn this function on first. But there may be a few moments when you may want to quickly lock down your phone to make sure no one can access it without your lock screen password. You can set up Smart Lock, so your phone will not ask you to unlock it when you’re at home, or you can set it to trust connected Bluetooth devices so your smartwatch or headphones will keep your phone unlocked. There are several ways to have your phone bypass the lock screen. Just tap Wind Down, choose a start and end time, and you can customize whether you want Do Not Disturb turned on, as well as a grayscale screen, or even whether the phone should turn on Night Light (which turns the screen yellow to protect from blue light). It’s a great way of staying off your phone before bed, and not getting distracted. We don’t think app timers are too useful (unless you’re setting one up for a child), but we do recommend turning on Wind Down, which will turn the display to grayscale at night and will automatically turn on Do Not Disturb mode. While you’re in the Digital Wellbeing menu, we recommend taking a look at Google’s options to help curtail smartphone usage. Alternatively, the setting option is also available in Settings > System > Gestures > Flip to Shhh. Head over to Settings > Digital Wellbeing > Flip to Shhh and toggle it on. It’s a quick way to turn on Do Not Disturb, especially if your phone is vibrating loudly in a meeting or interview.

One of the software features you’ll want to try with your Pixel 3, 3a, 3 XL, or 3a XL is “Flip to Shhh,” which, as it sounds, silences your device when you flip the phone on a table (display facing down).
