Photos loading upside down on check-in process

[Kim3305]

Hi all,

I'm new to hosting.  I just added in the instructions in the steps for check-in and attached photos, but they all loaded upside down.  I tried doing it again, and actually even took the photos upside down to see if they would then look normal, but doesn't matter how I take the photos, they load on the app upside down.  There doesn't appear to be any option to change the rotation.  Can someone help?  I guess my other question is I can't find a contact number/email address for Airbnb anywhere.

Hi Kim, I don't have the answer but thought I'd jump onto your post to say I'm having exactly the same problem.

Airbnb, I couldn't find any online help either. A Live Chat function would be helpful for certain situations for Hosts. Cheers, Tanya

Hey Kim, I just worked out a way around it. It's a bit annoying to have to do it but it works. 

Send the photo to yourself (via whatever platform - I did it via a normal message to my own mobile but I used the "received" photo not the "sent" photo. 

Save that version of the photo to your device and pick up that one when you're uploading it on Airbnb. 

Cheers
