Is a photo upside down on a mobile device? Do not turn your head, but the photo using the Photos or Gallery app.
Photo on its side or upside down
Sometimes it is very clear that a photo does not look good, for example if it is upside down. But sometimes it’s a little less clear. For example, you try to show someone a photo, but the photo keeps turning on its side. This is because the photo is not positioned correctly and because a photo rotates when the mobile device rotates. Whatever the reason, it is always useful not to put the device, but the photo in the correct position.
Straighten photo with Gallery app (Android)
Android devices all have the Gallery app. This is where all created, downloaded and received photos and videos end up. The app also has a number of options to edit images. Rotating a photo is one of them.

- Tap the pencil icon at the bottom.
