EXIF data not being preserved
The maximum size for images stored in PortraitMode is now 2200 pixels in either width or height. Photos larger than these dimensions will be resized, and there is currently an issue where the EXIF data is being removed during the resizing process. This information cannot be recovered and we will update this page as soon as the issue is resolved.

We were able to fix this issue and the EXIF data for resized photos will be preserved moving forward.
