ArcGIS Field Maps Attachment Orientation error.

PersAccnt

I've just created a hosted feature service in ArcGIS Enterprise 11.3 with various point layers and related tables. My workflow is generally working ok but in doing some basic testing I've noticed an issue with the photo orientation from an iOS Field Maps client.

These are the steps I'm taking:

1. Add new record in related table
2. Press add photo button
3. Take a portrait photo
4. Press use photo
5. Return back to data entry form

All of the photos taken in portrait mode rotate 90 degrees anti-clockwise. 

All photos take in landscape mode with the camera to the right turn upside down. 

I'm using iOS on iPhone 15Pro Max. ArcGIS Field Maps 24.1.1

I figured it out:

for some reason field map changes the orientation of photos if you do not allow location access.

so the solution to this issue was simple:

iOS 17.5.1

Settings>Field Maps>Location> select 'always'; or 'while using App'

Close and reopen Field Maps and the photo orientation is fixed.
