Abstract
Systems and methods for automatically changing application start state based on device orientation may include receiving a request to open an application, installed on a mobile device, capable of opening using at least two different open behaviors. Then, in response to receiving the request, the method may include (1) using one or more sensors of the mobile device to detect a physical orientation of the mobile device at the time the request is received and (2) opening the application by (i) opening the application using a first open behavior based at least in part on detecting a first orientation of the mobile device or (ii) opening the application using a second open behavior based at least in part on detecting a second orientation of the mobile device. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
