Auto rotate option missing

[Pauls8]

Auto rotate bottom missing from pull down options for s8.... help

Hi,

When you pull down from the top then pull down again to fully open the panel up to see if it's there.

If not Then swipe across from the right to see if it's there.

This is an awful design.... Samsung should be apologetic for the stupidity.. just change the auto rotate icon from active to inactive.. never show the portrait desensitized. *****s.

Legend. Thanks mate. Worked straight away.

I know this is an old thread, but I just had to say THANK YOU! You're a genius.    This auto-rotate "portrait" thing had be going crazy for DAYS!!!! Thank you.

[JazB]

Thanks
Not sure which is worse.
Willful *****s that believe and go along because they are incapable of thinking circumstances out...
Or the over intelligent *****s that have no idea how us normal folks roll....

Once again... Thanks for the heads up

Thats it. Click Portrait and it changes to Auto Rotate. Wierd...lol
Worked on a S8 & S10

Many thanks

on my Galaxy S20 Ultra that option is no longer there and in Always on feature settings there is a selection that says rotate screen portrait or landscape, but no AUTO!

Same on my Note 10+. However if on an app-YouTube-that 'knows' about rotating screen if I turn the mobile to landscape I get a rectangular block appear in a corner of the screen. Touching it rotates the screen - same happens if I move mobile back to portrait.

Who,with 1 brain cell,thought this was better than the Auto-Rotate button?

[rgruenhaus]

I called Samsung tech as I do for my Samsung 4k TV and 4k blu-ray player and washing machine and they used the Smart tutor and went into my settings and showed me that when my Galaxy S20 Ultra is not in auto it will have the label of portrait or landscape and as I told him it used to be either on auto or not, but now it's only showing the selected mode , which I didn't know to look for. It is now back the way it was with the icon in the Quick menu for me to enable auto or other. 1-800-726-7864 for 24hr tech support Samsung! VERY HELPFUL!

[picard25]

That worked,Well Done. Of course begs the question "Why not just have the auto-rotate button as before?".

[rgruenhaus]

where is quick menu?

[IanF1]

Brilliant thanks. Worked perfectly.

[VGP]

Genius! Thank you

[jakid]

Thanks, it worked!

[Steven7563]

Very helpful thank you 

[sldmn]

Ah! that's where it is in Quick Menu, thanks very much!  What kind of logic to put it into Portrait! I rather it be greyed out/disabled.

I also could not find my "auto rotate". Mine had a icon listed as "landscape". When I clicked it, it then asked me if I wanted to turn on "auto rotate". When I went back to the "auto rotate" button and turned it off, then, there was a  "Portrait". Icon. Strange software, Samsung.

[ashnaed]

Where I can find the "Portrait" button? 

[ThatGuySteve]

You can't.... the button has been removed.

[Kaboobaschlatz]

That's not right. I also had this problem and the button magically reappeared after the June 2019 security patch
