Disable auto-rotate does not work in certain apps

In android 11 I disabled auto-rotate of the screen by setting to "off" Settings > Display > Auto Rotate. however in certain apps that doesn't seem to make any difference and the screen is still rotated when I move the phone orientation I assume that's because the app developer has decided to override the android auto-rotate setting, or would there be any other reason for this behavior? Alternatively is there a way to set the gyroscope manually so I can set the orientation of the phone without it being automatically detected
