screen in landscape mode
Most Android phones need to be in portrait mode
when looking at the home screen, making for some
awkward fumbling when running landscape apps. But
that’s not the case with the Pixel 2. Inside the Home
Settings (which can be accessed by pressing down on
the screen and tapping the gear icon), you’ll see an
Allow Home screen rotation toggle. Toggle it on, and
your icons and widgets will rotate when you turn your
phone. One caveat: you’ll lose your Google search bar
when in landscape mode.
