Hi there AFmedia,


We understand that you are unable to view your pictures in landscape mode. We’d be glad to assist. 


To confirm, are you able to rotate your iPhone and use other apps like Safari or Messages in landscape mode on your iPhone? If not, check if Portrait Orientation Lock is enabled. 

Rotate the screen on your iPhone or iPod touch


If Portrait Orientation lock is off and this issue continues, can you let us know which version of iOS your iPhone is running?

Find the software version on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod


Cheers!
