[AC Question]

My screen rotation on my galaxy s7 isn't working. There isn't even and icon to turn it on when I pull down the top. Can anyone help me?

Try Settings, Display. It may have got switched off somehow, or Rotation Lock may have got switched on.

A Power Off and Restart may also fix it.

If necessary try Safe Mode, to test whether a third-party app is causing trouble.

Have you unlocked the portrait setting? I was having the same problem... I didn't see the icon on the drop down menu.

But there it was "portrait unlock"

Press Settings-->4th icon on the right says "Auto rotate" or if activated says "Portrait". Press to toggle between both screen options.

Thank you for your solution. I've been looking for a 'screen rotation OFF/ON option, obviously unsuccessfully. Portrait Unlock... who would have thunk it. Thanks.

Did you get an answer to this? I noticed today that I don't even have the rotate button anymore and my phone is not rotating!

Holly cow Android!! Who's idea was it to xhange the name of the icon when turned off?

So, when autorotate is active and the screen automatically changes feom Portrait to Landscape the icon is callsd "Autorotate" but if you turn it off the the icon changes ita name to "Portrait Lock". That's why no one (well I) couldn't find it.
