Samsung Galaxy Keeps Rotating Screen To Landscape

Samsung Galaxy J2 phone now rotates the screen to landscape whenever I just turn slightly my hand. This started recently and did not do this in the past. Settings -> Home Screen -> Rotate to Landscape Mode is OFF. Anyone know how to stop this?
 
Does it happen when running particular app, or all apps? I have met apps that ignore or override auto-rotate settings when running.

If it's just the home screen (i.e. launcher) maybe a different launcher would help? I do not use the One UI launcher so can't really say much about that.

(I assume you've tried the usual reboot phone or clear app cache types of solutions).
 
Yes I've rebooted numerous times. It seems to happen with whatever I'm displaying - e.g. Settings, Contacts, Phone, Firefox. But does not happen on Home Screen. Once it rotates it does not quickly go back to normal display when I turn my hand. Most times I have to literally shake the phone a few times until it goes back to normal.
