Flip the screen

Miguel Bernal Escobar

Great app! A real game changer.

It should be grate if the screen could be flipped when having an in person conversation. That way I could point the microphone towards the person I’m talking to. Thanks!

Hi Miguel and Ann,

Yes, absolutely! Ann Thomas' answer is spot on—we already have that in place. However, you might want to double-check that screen rotation is enabled on your phone.

For iPhone:

Swipe down from the top-right corner of the screen to open the Control Center.
Look for the Rotation Lock icon (a padlock with a circular arrow around it).
If the icon is highlighted (red or white), screen rotation is locked.
Tap the Rotation Lock icon to disable it.
Your screen should now rotate based on the device's orientation.

For Android:

Open Settings.
Go to Display.
Find "Auto-rotate screen" and toggle it ON.

Please note that these steps may vary depending on your device and operating system.

Ann Thomas thank you for your helpful input!

Ava Team the opposite is true for me and I have an iPhone. This feature has been around for a while and it’s one of my favorite features. However, if I turn off rotation lock, the app will rotate to a horizontal view and not the actual thing Miguel was looking at. If I leave the rotation lock on, and flip my phone to orient the microphone toward the speaker, the app will reorient itself toward me.

AJ Temple Thank you so much for sharing your experience.

Ava has had that wonderful feature forever. I'm wondering if you need to activate a screen rotate feature on your phone.
