Profile picture keeps turning sideways by 90 degrees

Does anyone know how to solve that my profile photo always goes sideways? Thanks in advance!

Digital photos can include data that tells another computer which way is up.   It's called EXIF data.

Yours evidently did.   

So it would appear correctly on your device, but sideways on any device which didn't use that data.

You can edit photos to change their orientation

.

Thank you justbefair,

Do you mean edit them in Chess.com? I have not found an option for that.

No. You have to edit them using a photo editing program.

I did that to the second image that appears above.  You can download it and use it to replace your sideways dog.

If you take a screenshot of your picture, delete the original, then use the screenshot picture it will come out correctly .

Will try this, but what would explain the picture showing correctly oriented in the chess.com app on the phone I took it withAND my new phone, but sideways in the chess.com app on my iPad?
