Ever since latest updata my phone (S21 5G) doesn't automatically change from vertical to horizonal when I change the phone to horizontal...

Any ideas??

I checked under settings, but all I see is to either have screen vertical or horizontal. No "auto"

The Auto rotate option is in the quick settings menu, not the settings menu. Swipe down twice on the status bar (at the top of your screen) to expand the quick settings menu. Look for the image below. Tap it to switch from/to "Auto rotate" or "Portrait" mode.PH_GS_S21_Auto-Rotate-icon.jpg

Just another thought. One of my old phones did this once and it turned out to be a hardware issue. Had to replace the phone. But you said it happened after the update so I don't know. Just throwing it out there.

Thanks!! Found it!! I feel really stupid now.
Had seen the "portrait" in the quick setting, never thought to click it - sheesh.
