Full-screen image view is too sensitive to second (close) touch

[andrewxhill]

The full-screen view of a single shared image allows you to pan and pinch zoom an image. If you use one finger to pan the image, it will often just close it (since the view also has a 'tap to close' gesture). We need to detect longer presses and not close the view.

To create.

• go to a shared group
• click an image shared to the group
• in the resulting full-screen image view, use a single finger to try and pan around the image

For me, the image will close instead of sticking to the pan.

Based on other app UX (insta), user feedback, and just the fact that we shouldn't be guessing how to crop people's photos, we should plan to remove the square cropping in the feed. In which case, do we still want the full-screen view?

Tough call. We should discuss. There are many questions to answer, like are we going to stick with this instgram style feed? My own opinion, non-cropped portrait photos look really bad in the instgram style feed, they're soooo tall and take up almost all the visible area of the feed. Which is why instagram makes it impossible to post a full-height portrait photo (even their portrait mode requires you crop it to not be so tall).

full screen mode is even required for viewing one's own camera roll. the above problem could be fixed by adding different ways to close it or whatever, but full screen mode for a single image is required i think no matter

Oh right, I forgot about the gird view. 👍

We could remove the tap to close gesture and replace it with a "swipe away" gesture like on twitter's UI. I find that to be really convenient for larger screens, and it makes it easier to tell whether the user is trying to zoom or close the modal.

Cool, tagging this in Sprint 19 which starts next week. We can take a look if it makes sense.
