Description

Feature Description

Not sure if it's a feature, more like an enhancement. But currently when Stremio Web is installed as a PWA on Android, the app auto rotates.

Proposed Solution

Having a toggle to switch it on/off in the settings would be really helpful.

Additional Context or Screenshots

Since Stremio 5 is a WIP, many buttons and menu are oversized on a smartphone while texts on file names list of any particular media are small and not wrapped.

With auto rotate, due to size discrepancy and no word wrap, information hardly appear even on a 6 inch android phone.
