ios26 camera problem on home screen apps

since the release of iOS26 i get new reports of people making home screen apps of website pages that had camera accessibility to take pictures that mention the camera being 90degree sideways to what it should be.

i have tested it myself and was able to reproduce the issue quite easily on iPhones 13|15|16 regular and pro versions.

this affects all cameras when trying using them with navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({...})...

not sure if this helps but pretty sure it's related. while trying to patch my app, to be able to know which kind of adjustment i have to make my app do, i ended up having to use: "screen.orientation.type" in javascript

even though once again it works fine in safari, in the home screen app it always return: "portrait-primary" not matter the state of the device.

I have a problem with my iPhone 13 Pro camera since I updated to ioS 26 it brought a camera message and when I open the camera app on potrait and cinematic mode the camera is zoomed to 3x and I can’t zoom out.. I tried resetting all settings but it didn’t work. But sometimes when I restart the phone it works normally then after sometime the screen goes black
