Photos uploading sideways

Portrait photos have today started uploading sideways. Has never done this before and was not like this yesterday. Today photos are sideways. Are these still a back up of original photo?

Same problem here. Photos are orientated fine on my PC, but when using the app on iPhone or iPad many of the photos are now orientated off by 90 degrees. Can there be a fix for this please?  I have thousands of photos, I need to be able to display them as I did with the app a few days ago (and had for many many years!)

        I am also having cropping issues.
