iOS/iPadOS 18+: Camera Video Recorded via Browser Appears Flipped or Upside Down

I'm encountering an issue with front camera video recordings via browser (Safari/Chrome) on devices running iOS/iPadOS 18 and above:

  • On iPad, the recorded video appears upside down.
  • On iPhone, the recorded video is rotated 90 degrees.
  • The rear camera functions correctly without orientation issues.

This problem seems specific to browser-based recordings, as the native Camera app records videos with the correct orientation.

Has anyone else experienced this behavior? Is there a known workaround or fix?

The preview while recording is fine, the recorded video is oriented incorrectly.

I'm still facing the same issue and haven’t had any luck. Did you manage to fix it? I checked the video metadata, but there’s no info about the orientation. In an earlier version, it showed displaymatrix: rotation of -90.00 degrees
