Fixing iPhone and iPad photo rotations

[Sac Arrow]

The iPhone takes smashing pictures. But it doesn't seem to understand the concept of portrait photos even though the rotation appears correct in the device itself.

HOW, short of downloading on a desktop and fixing it, do I correct the rotation within the device itself?

The iPhone takes smashing pictures. But it doesn't seem to understand the concept of portrait photos even though the rotation appears correct in the device itself.

HOW, short of downloading on a desktop and fixing it, do I correct the rotation within the device itself?

Try this (for 8.1 on an iPad):
In the photos app, go to the album containing the a photo to be rotated and select the photo for viewing. An Edit button should appear in the upper right. Tap it. Several editing icons should appear below the picture. Tap on the one second from the left; what looks to b a cropping tool. After tapping on it an icon should appear to the bottom left that has a box with a curved arrow outside it indicating it is a rotation tool. Tap it to rotate the photo.

Edit: the above was tried while in portrait mode; the buttons are located differently in landscape mode.
