Current behavior

When I select an image from the phones gallery and upload it to the server which create a thumbnail, if the phone has been rotated, the created thumbnail will also be rotated. The full image is not rotated. The EXIF data is also different on orientation when the image comes from gallery. The reason I see this as an issue, is if I use the phones camera with the capacitor camera plugin and take images with different rotations, the thumbnail will not get rotated, it will simply get the correct dimentions fx portrait mode will show the thumbnail in portrait.
When I look at the EXIF data of the image from camera directly it shows orientation Standard portrait, however the same image from gallery will have 180 degree rotated on orientation.

Expected behavior

I expect the images from gallery have the correct orientation similar to the images that are taken from the phone

I have looked at this problem a little more and found that problem does not occur if I use the pickimages, that the camera plugin provides .

So to sum up. using FilePicker.pickImages results in the orientation in the EXIF data being "90 degree rotated" but if I use the pickImages from the camera plugin it will be 1 , 3, 6 for the orientation. The camera plugin also have an input param correctOrientation. what I also found is that they seem to use different galleries. I would suggest you to take inspiration from that plugin for the pickImages in this plugin
