Hope there is a fix for this.. I can’t find one

When taking pictures, rotate the phone 90 degrees so the aspect ratio of the photo is a better match for the aspect ratio of your TV screen.  Or use a photo editor to crop existing photos – that photo could have much of the foreground or background cropped out.  Not to mention that you seem to have a bunch of vertical space wasted by phone status/phone app stuff – looks like a screen shot of some app rather than the photo itself.

If your TV is your primary destination, you should be able to set the phone camera app to make 16:9 pictures (in addition to shooting them in landscape mode as mentioned above.)

Here is a crude mockup of how it would have appeared if the aspect ratio was more appropriate for a TV.  Of course, this is just a quick hack of me editing your picture (of a picture) so the quality won’t be good, but it will give you an idea.

Thank u for taking the time! I’m almost 60 but want to share this with my son to send pics of my new granddaughter when she arrives as it is cheaper than those photo frames! I was able to get it to look like that which is a huge improvement. Many of my pics are screenshots and the camera app on my iPhone will not allow u to take pics in landscape I will have to turn my phone if it is me taking pics or just edit everything… found a free app that is pretty fast and simple I tried so maybe won’t be too bad! Thank u so much!!!
