Feature request for Gallery app: swipe lock (when showing a single picture to a friend)

Poveu — Thu, 07 Sep 2023 19:15:22 GMT

We all know this situation.

We want to show some particular picture from the gallery to our friend, so we open the picture in the Gallery app and hand our phone to the friend's hands. And then, all of the sudden, he starts swiping... Watching other pictures that we didn't want them to see.

So I just thought of a super simple solution - a button that will lock swiping to other pictures. This will allow safely showing the one and only picture to anyone without having to watch over them if they're not too... Curious 😉

What do you think?

Haha. We've all been there. Not sure how they'll achieve it in the programming but I like the idea for sure.

With pinned app you can still swipe to other pictures, so that's not a solution 😔
