I need help! I noticed a couple months ago that my auto rotate is missing. The icon is no longer in the drop down panel anywhere. I even searched through settings. No where! The auto rotate is gone. I can't rotate barely anything. Pictures, YouTube... what do I do? How do I get it back??

None of the things I googled helped me locate it either. I've never seen this before on any of my phones. I've had this phone less than a year.

Hi, Look for icon called Potrait in the Quick Panel. When you enable it, it turns on Auto rotate.

If its completely gone from the drop down

- drop down the menu, click the 3dots, (top right corner), and click edit buttons.

If the option has been removed, it'll be under there.

This option isn't available on the edit menu either.

@Jo7777777: If your boyfriend has checked his Quick Panel for the Portrait or Landscape option with a grey padlock symbol, and this is also not visible, then please ask him to swipe from the top of the screen to the bottom, then again to enlarge the Quick Panel > Tap the pencil symbol in the top right > Full > Edit, and check the 'Available buttons' section at the bottom of the screen. He should also ensure that he is swiping through all the available pages of options, as indicated by the series of dots at the foot of the menu.

Thank you for the solution!

Samsung, please fix the naming.

Also, Samsung, please re-add it to settings. It's missing from there too!

The button could also be called 'Landscape' depending on how your locked screen is orientated.

I still can't find it. Update on 11/6/25 has removed everything to do with screen rotation, portrait, the lot. Nothing on the quick drop down at all. ***** so unnecessary to do this kind of thing.
