Rotating photos on your iPhone 15 is a straightforward process using the built-in Photos app, allowing you to easily adjust the orientation of your images with a few taps.
Step-by-Step Guide to Rotating Photos
The iPhone 15's native Photos app offers a simple and efficient way to correct the orientation of your pictures. Follow these steps to rotate your photos:
- Open the Photos App: Locate and tap the
Photosapp icon on your iPhone 15's home screen. - Select Your Photo: Browse through your albums or library and tap on the specific photo you wish to rotate.
- Enter Edit Mode: Once the photo is open, tap the
Editbutton located in the top-right corner of the screen. This will open the photo editing interface. - Access the Rotation Tool: At the bottom of the screen, you will see a series of editing tools. Tap the
Cropicon (it typically looks like two overlapping right angles). - Rotate the Picture: Within the crop tool interface, look for a dedicated rotate button. As per the reference, "if you tap on that button that's going to rotate the picture." Each tap on this button will rotate the photo 90 degrees.
- Tip: Keep tapping the button until the picture achieves your "desired orientation."
- Confirm Changes: Once your photo is oriented correctly, tap
Donein the bottom-right corner of the screen to save your changes.

Advanced Photo Orientation Adjustments
Beyond the basic 90-degree rotation, the iPhone's editing tools offer more granular control:
- Fine-Tune Angle: Within the crop/rotate tool, you can often find a dial or slider that allows you to adjust the photo's angle by a few degrees, perfect for straightening slightly crooked horizons.
- Flip Photo: The Photos app also typically includes options to flip your photo horizontally or vertically. This can be useful for mirrored images or for creative effects. Look for a flip icon (often two triangles with an arrow or a mirrored image) next to the rotate button within the crop tool.
Tips for Best Results
- Preview Carefully: Always preview the rotated photo before saving to ensure it's in the exact orientation you desire.
- Revert to Original: If you make a mistake or change your mind after saving, you can always reopen the edited photo, tap
Edit, and then selectRevert>Revert to Originalto undo all edits. - Consider Purpose: Think about where the photo will be used (e.g., social media, print) as this might influence the optimal orientation.
Rotating photos on your iPhone 15 is a quick and effective way to ensure your memories are displayed perfectly.
