I need to dig deeper, but for now I just want to say how delightful it is to be able to go to the next/previous photo by swiping even if I've zoomed in. Google Photos makes me zoom all the way back out first with a huge pinch, which leads to a lot of frustration when swipes fail to change the photo. Nice work.

"It's not a bug, it's a feature". Many rely on this "issue" to prevent people from swiping to photos they're not supposed to see - a common enough occurence when showing someone a photo on your phone.

  Indeed. Maybe there should be a setting for this functionality so you can turn it on/off according to your preferences.

  "prevent people from swiping to photos they're not supposed to see" I feel this is a common problem and there could be a solution like long-press pop a menu that allows you to lock 'just this pic' until photos is closed and reopened.. or select 'pics from just today' or 'pics just from the past XX minutes' Or something, this issue is huge in a lot of circumstances.
