There are a few reasons why your Instagram stories might appear upside down:
- You accidentally turned your phone upside down while recording the story: If you registered your Instagram story while holding your phone upside down, the video would appear upside down when you play it back.
- The camera app on your phone is set to record in portrait mode: Some phone apps can record in portrait mode, flipping the video horizontally. If you registered your Instagram story using a camera app set to record in portrait mode, the video would appear upside down when you play it back.
- There is a problem with your phone’s gyroscope: The gyroscope in your phone helps to detect the orientation of your device. If there is a problem with the gyroscope, it could cause the video to appear upside down.
To fix an upside-down Instagram story, you can try the following:
- Check the orientation of your phone: Make sure that your phone is upright and held in portrait mode while recording the story.
- Check the camera app settings: If you use a third-party camera app, check its settings to ensure that it is not set to record in portrait mode.
- Restart your phone: Restarting your phone can help to reset the gyroscope and fix any problems with the orientation of your Instagram stories.
