People can run into various problems when uploading photos to Facebook from any device, such as a smartphone or computer. For instance, depending on how the file is saved, the photo may publish to Facebook in portrait view when you intended the shot to display in landscape orientation. If this occurs, Facebook allows you to rotate the photo as desired using the website's photo editing options.
