They’re blind so they use text-to-screech
Do bats have an option on their phones that turns photos upside down automatically?

Feels like they would want the opposite of that option. Like when you’re laying sideways in bed and the phone rotates sideways for no apparent reason.

I can’t imagine a bat using a phone, but I’ve seen plenty of children laying on a bed with their head hung over the foot or side of the bed (so if you approached, you’d be upside-down to them) and they’re holding their tablet upside-down so they can see it.
Hurts my neck to even think about it.

Photos, as in sonar depth maps?

Bats being blind is a common misconception. They actually are believed to have a quite good eyesight.

I’m not that up-to-date on my bat-lore, but I’ve always thought they were primarily active at night, and navigate themselves using sonar there. But perhaps eyesight is also complementary to sonar at night, or vise versa? Again, my bat-lore’s lacking
