Not sure how standard this is, but on Pixel phones the default is no auto rotation, but when the phone detects rotation it will display a tiny rotate button in the corner of the screen for just a few seconds. Best of both worlds IMO.
That rotate button is incredibly annoying. I turned off auto-rotate for a reason and the button obscures other information displayed in that corner of the screen. Wish I could turn the button off too.
It’s still a navigation bar it’s just transparent. If there’s important information down there that can get blocked by it then the developers of the app did something wrong.
It is simply the bottom of the app window. There is nothing app-specific to this behaviour, lots of apps show information in the lower 20-30 pixels of their window.

That’s a stock Android feature, or at least it’s on Motorola phones. Handy button.
That’s a stock Android feature, I have that on LineageOS

What information is in your navigation bar?
What navbar?
There is no navigation bar on the Pixel 8. It uses some sort of gesture-based system instead.

Not pixel specific, stock android. You can enable the old on-screen buttons for accessibility reasons or if you’re a grumpy old sod who hates change.

On stock Android and Samsung, the default is auto rotation, but when I turn it off, exactly that happens. That’s why I turn it off.
