I have (3) frame TV’s two are 43” mounted vertically and in the middle of them a 75” mounted horizontal. When I load pics from my iphone to the 43” vertically mounted frames sometimes they show pics sideways (90 degrees the wrong way). Is this something I need to adjust and edit in the photo before uploading or is there some smart setting in the TV that can just figure it out? See the TV on the left, why does it do this?
This usually happens because the photo's orientation metadata (EXIF data) is being read differently by the TV than it is on your phone. Most smartphones automatically add orientation data to photos when you take them, but not all devices interpret that data the same way.
Here are a few ways to fix this:
Edit and Save the Photo Again: Open the photo on your phone, rotate it 90 degrees (even if it looks correct), and save it. Then rotate it back to the correct orientation and save again. This often resets the orientation data.
Use an Editing App: Sometimes, cropping the image slightly or using a photo editor to re-save it can strip out problematic EXIF data.
Upload via a Different Method: Try uploading the photo via a USB drive or a different app to see if that makes a difference.
TV Settings: Some TVs have settings that automatically rotate images based on metadata—check your TV’s settings to see if there’s an option related to auto-rotation or orientation.
