Whenever any of my users upload a profile picture from their iphone it uploads sideways. Does anyone know how to fix this? It doesn't happen with android or pcs. I'm using cb 2.0.14 and Joomla 2.5.28.
Thanks,
Anthony

Their phone would be entirely responsible for that. Probably storing a landscape as portrait for whatever reason. They need to rotate it on their phone before uploading.

Thanks for the reply but I don't believe that to be the case. Multiple members have the same issue. I just tested it out with my intern on his iphone 5 and he had the same issue. We made sure to take the picture in portrait. As you can see the gallery showed it as portrait but when it is uploaded it uploaded it sideways.
iPhone stores sideways photos with the orientation in the exif data. I've no idea why they choose to do this, but it causes a problem based off where you're sending the photo. Uploading the raw file for example to CB isn't going to process that orientation as it doesn't have a clue it exists; nor do we process exif data. As I've no apple device I will have no way to test PHP workarounds for detecting exif orientation. Looks like the image processing library Imagine that we're using has a possible fix for this though.
Will review applying usage of autorotate usage in our image API, which should allow it to globally apply to all image upload usages throughout CB. For now I do not have a workaround, sorry.
Note you'll see this issue for example if you email an apple photo, etc.. It appears apple always stores landscape orientated. Even if you take a portrait it's stored landscape and thus will be sideways.
