16:9 landscape photos cropped to fit full screen in iOS 9

Yes I am experiencing the same, and I have not found a solution.

iPad Air and IOS 9

I am experiencing the same, took photos with a Canon camera and later uploaded them to iCloud, on iPhone these photos are cropped when phone is in landscape mode on Photos app.

I'm experiencing the same problem and it is very frustrating. I would like the option of changing the default.

And on 9.1 it is still not fixed... Really annoying. Wonder if this bug or intentional behaviour?

I just spent a very frustrating hour on the phone with Apple support. This is the way the Photos app works with IOS9, and there is no way to work around it. I suggest everyone lodge a complaint at apple.com/feedback. As far as I'm concerned this makes the iPad completely useless for any serious photographer.

Photos are now shown as should in iOS 9.2 Public Beta 1.

I'm on the 9.2 public beta 1 and it's still cropping my photos

I am having the same issue, the images from my camera are 3:2 and I crop in the same proportions, what I find strange is that viewing a portrait image in landscape orientation the whole image is shown, rotate the iPad to portrait orientation and the image is cropped, the same happens the other way a landscape viewed in portrait orientation is fine rotate it to landscape orientation and the cropping occurs, it is not a massive amount but enough to ruin the image composition. I have tried the zoom in/out as suggested above and whilst it does work it is not convenient when showing images to other people. I have made this post in the hope a solution will be found and I will receive a notification.

I do think it's a ridiculous problem that inhibits professionals and creatives alike from showcasing their work with the iPad.

I have found a workaround, that you all might try if you're in a pinch. I've got a client meeting on Monday, and resorted to taking my images into Illustrator. I made an artboard that's the 3:4 ratio, like the iPad screen. I fit my image in the center of this, and left white bars at the top and bottom.

I then saved the image as a PNG and kept the background as transparent. This makes the iPad think the image is the right size for the screen, but it's really not. This works when the screen is black in preview mode, or when the screen is white (no bars visable anywhere)

DOn't know why it took me so long to figure out this work around, but it's still ridiculous nonetheless. Maybe this can help a few people in a pinch, but Apple really needs to fix this asap.

That behavior is terrible. I use Photo Manager Pro for storing and viewing my photos and it has a lot of great options. And it displays photos in the correct aspect ratio.

Bump!!

I'm having the same issue! Both on my iPhone and my iPad. And it's still not fixed! Who at Apple could possibly feel that this was a good idea!?

Please fix this asap, or I'm sadly forced to switch to Android :-(

Just moved on to an iphone SE with IOS9.3 and the problem still persist.

Also sent word to Apple about it, but they were very vague in givng an answer if the issue will ever be resolved on future updates.

I find this quite unacceptable.

I'm glad I'm not the only one with this problem. I recently started with iCloud and noticed this problem. I'm uploading my Lightroom CC exported .jpgs (from RAW Canon 5dmk3) via Windows 10 to iCloud.com. The photos all display perfectly via Edge on iCloud.com on that Windows 10 computer. My iPad Pro 12.9" 128GB with the photos app does what you're experiencing to some, but not all the images. If I click edit on the iPad, the full image appears, but goes back to cropped and zoomed after exiting edit mode. I cannot zoom in and zoom out to have it display correctly on the iPad. I also sync with my iPhone 6+ and all the images display properly in landscape mode in the photos app.

So for me, it's only a problem with the iPad Pro - but one of the main reasons I purchased it was for photography! Seems like an obvious bug that needs correcting.
