Swipe down from the top of the screen. This displays the Quick Settings icons at the top as well as your notifications.
Swipe down from the Quick Settings icons again. This expands the Quick Settings menu so that it covers the entire screen.
Tap the Auto Rotate Android 7 Autorotate, Portrait, or Landscape icon. If Auto Rotate is on, it resembles a blue icon with a tilted phone with curved arrows on each side. Tapping this icon will turn Auto Rotate off and lock your phone in whichever orientation it is currently in. If your phone is already locked to Portrait or Landscape orientation, this icon will be grey and resemble a phone in portrait or landscape orientation with a lock over it. Tapping this icon will enable Auto Rotate mode.
Rotate your phone to change the screen orientation (if Auto Rotate is enabled). If Auto Rotate is enabled, your phone's screen will automatically flip to portrait mode when you are holding it upright. When you are holding it horizontally, it will automatically switch to Landscape mode. On most versions of Android, it is not possible to change the direction of your home screen. Try opening an app, such as your phone's browser, and then rotating your screen.
Rotate your phone and tap the manual Rotate button (if Auto Rotate is disabled). If your phone is locked to Portrait or Landscape mode, an icon that resembles a phone rotating will appear in the navigation bar when you rotate your phone. On some phone models, it resembles a rectangle icon with two arrows. It's in the lower-right corner or lower-left corner. Tap this icon to rotate your phone manually. If you are using a Samsung Galaxy and you do not see the manual rotate button, you need to enable it.
