On my version of Android 9, the “Auto-Rotate” is called Portrait.
I’m going to check around here, but I’m also looking for how to disable auto-rotation in specific apps. Maybe shutting it off for the Home Screen will prevent the random rotation in specific apps that rotate when I don’t want them to (I think my weather app does it). I’m OK with videos rotating and going full screen when I rotate while they are playing (sometimes) but would rather like to control that manually by turning “on” the Portrait mode. (That counter-intuitive, since when you turn it “on” that allows rotation when off, it is locked in portrait mode.)
