Image rotation after picture has been taken

[John Yester]

Every so often. When I take a picture from my iPhone 5s with landscape. The picture that is viewed from camera roll or sent through iMessage it will not display correctly. If I rotate the phone it will rotate the photo making it sideways again.


Anyone ever see this happen?

Yes, but not often. I took a photo of my youngest son in portrait mode and the image came out in landscape.

Yup then you rotate it and it always sits sideways..... Wonder what is causing it.

Re: Image rotation

This happens to me is the phone's face is either down towards the ground or up to the sky in orientation. In these cases the iPhone's gyroscope cannot tell whether you intended to take a landscape or portrait photo.

Good point.. So it even being pointed at a slight angle it does cause the issue... Thanks!

You're right. My son was playing around on the ground when I took the photo. Good observation, my friend...

You can "fix" this by rotating the pic one way and then saving the pic, after that rotate back to the original way before you touched it, and safe it again.
