Camera is not flipping in WhatsApp

Camera unit is not flipping in WhatsApp when taking a picture. The picture just gets inverted and I have to manually flip the camera with the toolbar in the navigation menu. Why's this happening it was working correctly before WhatsApp's last update. Anyone else having the same problem?

I don't have the issue you're describing.
You may try and see if your issue is solved by clearing your whatsapp storage.
Long-press your whatsapp icon and press the app info button (i with a circle in the top right corner). Press Storage & memory and Clear storage.
If this doesn't help, then try clearing the storage for your camera app as well.
And if that doesn't help then maybe you could try and uninstall the app and then install it again.

I've tried everything you've said but it just doesn't work.
It's only been like this since the last WhatsApp update. Before that it was working normally.

Let's hope it goes back to normal with the next update. Without being able to replicate your issue, I can't be of much help. Sorry 😕

Yeah it's working normally after the latest update.
