Tap a picture to see it big, here’s how

Small image frames are perfect for finding things. For actually looking you want to see it in full size, so simply tap any picture and it fills the whole screen.

Steps

1. Tap the picture itself, not one of the small buttons underneath it.
2. The image opens large, over the whole screen.
3. Tap the × in the corner, tap the dark background around the picture or press Escape on a keyboard to close it.

Tips

• Tapping the dark background is the quickest way to close an image on a phone.
• Videos play right where they are, with their normal controls, so this big viewer is all about images.
