What app can mute media when I flip the phone display screen facing downwards/floor?

I thought this
spman said:
If my phone is incoming ringing sound, I can mute it immediately by display screen facing downwards/floor/table, but if my media has audio I am unable to mute media by display screen facing downwards/floor/table.

Is there an app that allows me to mute media by display screen facing downwards/floor/table?

Thanks

I thought this was interesting, and created a Tasker profile as "state - orientation face down", and the task assigned to that state was media command pause, see screencap, works like a champ.

Thank you for this answer and for the article you provided!

That's a misleading statement with no valid proof to back it up.

Your phone's charging circuitry will take in the voltage and amperage it requires so using an adapter that can supply more power isn't going to be a problem. Power generation and transfer does produce heat, the issue being when using an adapter that's too minimal it will always be heating up much more. It's being required to work harder at a more continuous rate. On the other hand, using a power adapter that's more capable won't be struggling to provide enough power, and the charging process is going to be better for the battery too. Most power adapters are more or less cheap and incidental anyway, being too small to contain really effective filtering components to provide clean, precise power delivery. And for most people they'd rather replace a failing power adapter than a failing battery. Power adapters are relatively inexpensive and easy, while replacing the battery in a lot of smartphones now is a hassle.
The Battery University site has a lot of good info that gets updated regularly if you want to bone up on factual info about battery care, charging, storage, etc.

Uncertain about what "Wi-fi connection information" means

Yeah, I know that this is an older thread.

But, I have found a newer app that blocks trackers and seems to work well for games.

I have not ironed out all the bugs as far as using it all the time myself, but it works similar to a firewall in one way and it can also be used to block trackers in a customizable way.

It is a bit time consuming to set up, but when you see the sorts of tracking that even the most mundane or 'secure' apps are inviting into our devices, you may find that this little app suits your needs better than a VPN or a firewall when it comes to tracking.
