    this is really interesting and a GREAT heads up for using lemmy/kbin

    on ios, using a direct link the image auto rotates

    https://media.kbin.social/c7/87/c787717a1705f919a0163c83fc9894c7c378fa8ed9f74df9659d0f928f6b87fe.jpg

    which made me think there had to be metadata in the image to indicate what orientation to show it in and I was correct

    images uploaded maintain all metadata — please make everyone aware as this could lead to serious privacy issues.

      Yeah the preview of it shows upside down for me on Windows in Edge and on Chrome on Android, but was the right way up on Jerboa on Android.

            EXIF data, not meta data

            I mean, I’d say that EXIF data is a subset of metadata, so 🤷‍♂️

        normally web services will do the work for you by auto rotating and stripping the metadata. you could do a tiny edit like adjust the exposure by +/- 1 and then save. that should save the correct orientation.

        I have a question for you though… are you left handed?

            hahaha I am, and i hold my phone in my left hand. so when I take a photo, I rotate my phone clockwise which is “upside down” (camera lenses on the bottom of the phone) and gives me the same issue as OP.

          @GloomyBagel me, no. I found out how to strip location data from individual images on Preview, and how to prevent it being imbedded in the image. But I like having the image recorded because it tells me where I was. I just wasn’t aware that the images on Social Media had that info saved. So…I’ll be careful in future. Not sure how to fix the rotation problem other than what you suggest. Thanks!
