As you can see in the attached image…

  1. When an image is sufficiently long enough it will spill under the image control.
  2. When an image is sufficiently long enough it will spill under the phone’s drag down bar/quick access bar.

These bars are made partially transparent to support this. However this partial transparency will obfuscate the content of some images making the experience of using the app frustrating.

This happens quite regularly in landscape mode, but does also happen in portrait mode.

Proposed Change: Fully transparent image control bar, leaving just the controls themselves as visible overlays. Restrict image sizes to ensure they don’t spill under the quick access bar

    Alternatively, If you click only 1 time, that bar will disappear instead of minimizing the image (like swipe the image should do)

      This doesn’t work for me. Tapping once causes the image to close, not just the overlay.

      Edit: Follow up on this. I found that if you zoom in slightly and then tap, the overlay will disappear instead of minimising the image. Not exactly as you described but I believe this was what you were referring to. A workaround for now but certainly not an optimal user experience
