Tapping an image on mobile allows zoom but scrolling is functionally not fit for purpose

[cooperaj]

I can tap an image on Android Chrome / PWA and it will expand into a modal. I can then use pinches to zoom in on that image, but there is some odd rubber-banding that continuously recentres the image on the screen such that it's essentially impossible to zoom anywhere other than the centre of the image.

Edit. Furthermore, it appears that when the image is a part of a multi image gallery attempting to scroll to the left or the right of a zoomed in image will navigate between the images on an inconsistent feeling basis.

I cant zoom images at all now on iOS safari. If its multiple images I can swipe to switch between them. I suspect the image zoom broke when swipe was introduced.

Zooming looks to have completely gone now on Android too.

Same, I can't zoom at all on iOS safari (web app).

Same on the Android PWA. Pinch for zooming is broken

Image viewing needs to be full screen, pinch zoomable, and able to pan around the zoomed view.

All of this! But also, double-tapping should automatically zoom a certain factor (maybe 200%?) like it does on Twitter (or most social apps do, it's pretty standard I think).

Are there any updates on this? This is also an important accessibility issue, any image with text is really hard or impossible to read on mobile.

Furthermore, a lot of people use the app to follow artists, and some images are just tiny and unrecognizable right now, it's a bit frustrating.
