Bug description
On iPadOS, in landscape mode, when taking a picture, the camera image is rotated 90° to the right.
If you hold the iPad in portrait mode the camera orientation is correct.
Steps to reproduce
- Open Signal on an iPad in landscape mode
- Option 1:
- Click on the camera icon at the top of the chat list
- Option 2:
- Open a chat
- Click on the camera icon on the right of the message text input field
- Option 3:
- Go to the Stories tab
- Click on "Tap to add", or click on the camera icon in the top bar.
Actual result: The camera screen that opens is rotated 90° to the right.
Expected result: The camera screen should have the correct orientation.
