Front cam photos get reoriented

Started after the lost recent app update and happens in both phone and tablet. If I take a selfie in landscape, the photo shows as upside down after upload. If I take it in portrait mode, it's flipped on its side after upload.

Is the phone's Auto-Rotate function turned on?

 

[silverfang77]

No. It's the photos themselves that are being reoriented in Facebook after they've been uploaded.

Oh yes, I realize that--it's just that sometimes, if Auto-Rotate is turned off (and therefore the device is locked in one of the orientations), the camera may also lock in that orientation. So if you take the photo in portrait orientation but the camera is locked in landscape, it might show up sideways.

Does this happen if you're just taking a photo using the Camera app?

Just did an experiment. It seems to do it to pictures taken with the front camera that I doodle on before uploading.

Are you able to test it out on a different device? That would let us know if it's a bug with the device or with the Facebook app.
