As noted in other posts, auto-rotate should be in your notification panel (you may need to pull it down with two fingers to see all the icons):

I had the same thing happen and it was driving me crazy too.  When you pull down the shade, do you see a button that just says "portrait"?  That is the auto-rotate button after you have accidentally pressed it, which I had.  I hope that helps.  Smiley Happy

It is an easy fix, but not one you are likely to stumble upon even after much searching. Go to settings>apps>settings>storage>clear data/cache. This will bring back the auto rotate button in the pull down menu.

I have the same problem with my S8.  This did not solve the issue.  Any other ideas?

Thanks - that fixed it on my friends phone.

I had same problem with S9+.  See if this works for you:

1.  Swipe down Notification panel at top of device.

2.  Swipe down a second time.

3.  Click on three dots next to Settings icon at top, right.

4.  Choose Button order.

5.  At the top of the screen you should see icons that have accidently been removed or disappeared.

6.  Drag the icon down to re-add it to the Notification panel.
