Google Photos : Have to manually rotate the image after taking it?

Kind of annoying, as I'm used to camera phones auto-rotating the image so that a landscape photo displays properly when looked at horizontally, etc.

How can I correct this? Is this a 'sensor' permission? Is it possible to allow it access to the sensors needed to do this properly but without giving it access to sensors like the GPS?

Using Google Photos because it's simply a more refined product and the beta motion stuff is rad.

The sensors permission only controls access to sensors not covered by existing Android permissions. So it should not include GPS. Having said that, it is possible to infer the user location using the phone accelerometer. Here is an interesting study about that. There are others.

Grr... I mean Google CAMERA. The Camera app. After a horizontally shot photo it's stuck horizontal no matter what. If I upload it to the web, it's in the incorrect rotation to be viewed properly. If I want to view it on my phone, same deal. Have to manually rotate the image with the crop tool and it's not something I want to do every time.

I've had this issue too and also came to ask about it. If the phone is sideways it takes upright pictures, but in selfie mode it is always rotated to the right. Note, I use the stock camera app on pixel 6a. I do use simple gallery which has proper rotation but if I try to copy to pc or share via message of some kind, it doesn't get corrected.

Sounds like something with sensor permissions, look into that
