Wonky photos.

Try this.
open the camera app on your phone. Open settings. open formats and advanced settings.
Is there an option called HEIF-pictures? If yes and it is activated. Turn it off and try again.
(apparently that is not the problem I have mine disabled).
There are some apps and websites that do not support HEIF format...
Also when you take a photo for the tests, please take one where the image is easy to see which way up it should be. something like these.
LOL mine does it too!
I have had a look in all the settings on the forum's set up and there is nothing that can be altered to stop this from happening.
Until a solution is found I guess the easy thing to do is only take photos in the Landscape direction.
@John. Have you had any more thoughts about fixing this. Did you look at that Add-on link I sent you in a PM.

Ian, Bob posted a photo from another phone and had the same issues. It is pretty unlikely, though not impossible, that both phones are set to HEIF inadvertently. Are there any account specific settings that could have been altered accidentally?
Ok. So I was potentially right about HEIF..... Interestingly my phone doesn't support it, which explains why I never have the problem.... But then I don't have a particularly advanced phone....
Well as the photo I posted above proved, it is not the HEIF as that is disabled on mine. It is though also a Samsung a Galaxy A42
Sorry misunderstood.....
Hi Ian
Opened settings, no format or advanced settings???

Well it seems to be a problem without a solution until John sorts the software out.
In the while I can only suggest that those having this problem only take photos in landscape.
If you experience that the photos get flipped upside down, I can only suggest taking the picture with the camera upside down, thus the resulting posted picture will be the right way up.
This is all I have left to offer until @John sorts out either a different auto sizer or installs a picture turning add on.

Hi Bob
Well done. Just shows that persistence pays off. I suppose it's because the photo is neither portrait or landscape. Puss cat looks to have this cold, miserable weather sorted.
