My mum’s Samsung Galaxy Tab A screen rotation is not working. Annoyingly it is stuck in upside down mode otherwise it wouldn’t be such a problem.

Searching help for ‘screen rotation’ doesn’t bring up anything

I’ve tried turning it off and on.

Any ideas?

In iPads if you go into settings there is a lock screen option, the galaxy probably has something similar, where it hides I can’t help you with.

Yeah I should have said I checked in display setting and couldn’t find anything about screen rotation.

From the internets:

Go to Settings>Accessibility​, and make sure Auto-Rotate is checked on.

Ah good. I thought that mine had all sorts of glitches. Found that it must have Samsung magnetic cover or else.. interference with buttons on bezel.
