Where is the S6 auto rotate setting?

[Edward Campton]

After all the advice below I couldn't find the auto rotate button on the drag down shade. However after resisting a system reset I spotted "Portrait" on the drop down shade. I must have accidentally clicked the auto rotate button recently. Clicking this brought the auto rotate back. My opinion is that this should really be called auto rotate with on or off to stop confusion.

I've searched all over and finally found you pull down the shade, if you see a "portrait" icon, tap on that and it turns off the lock, thus allowing auto-rotate to work.

Pull the menu down where you would normally find your Wifi icons etc and change the icon that says PORTRAIT to Auto-Rotate

Omfg.... so simple yet so hard to find! Thank you very very much!!!

Pull down from the top of screen- click on " portrait" icon you'll see " Auto rotate" show.Enjoy!

It took me a while to figure it out. When you pull down the Shades menu, look for "Portrait" it will have a little lock symbol in the corner.

good luck

Slide down the screen from top toward bottom. Among wifi, location icon, you will see a "portrait" sign. Touch this sign and become to auto rotate mode.

I found on my s6 the problem is that the icon under the pull down shade is labeled portrait. It is the fourth icon in the top row. Press the portrait icon and it will change the icon to auto rotate and activate auto rotate.
