Why is my phone screen's orientation failing to stay locked and how do I fix it?

I have a Samsung Galaxy A71 5G. This usually only happens a few times a week, but my phone seems to be very confused by kbin. I have to hold it vertically or it will switch to landscape orientation every single time. It's annoying. Any ideas?

Thank you all in advance!

@HotDogFingies on kbin specifically (if you're using the progressive web app PWA) it currently bypasses your phones landscape or portrait lock. Even on my phone with Android 13, if I've switched off auto rotation and rotate the site it still rotates

That's apparently a bug that's going to be fixed at some point.

@AnonymousLlama Thank you so much. That's extremely helpful.
