iPhone 13 Re-orients the Videos I Take

After I record a video with my iPhone 13 in landscape orientation it turns the videos 90° so I have to view them sideways, and of course there isn’t a function in editing mode to rotate the video back to the correct orientation.

It does the same thing with photos, but I can rotate the photos in editing mode. It’s annoying, but it’s an iPhone.

It has been doing this since I bought the device a year and a half ago, even after iOS updates have been released.

How can I fix this problem?

You can easily rotate the video after it was recorded by editing in the Photos app, tapping crop, then tapping the rotate icon.



So easy.

Good to go?


Good luck! 👋🏼😉
