Browsing through the Rotor options, I came across an option called “Change Rotor with item.” It’s the second item when you navigate to the “Rotor” settings from within the “Settings/Voiceover” settings. I’ve never understood the purpose of this feature, so I checked it and already have it to “On.” Does this mean that if I have the rotor set to “Activities,” it will automatically revert to the default rotor item after a certain period?
