It is not possible to close image gallery with touch or stylus by pressing on image itself or empty spaces on the sides of the image.
Same actions work perfectly fine with a mouse.
I would love to see that fixed, and the functionality added for touch/stylus input as well, since currently gallery is much easier to use with a mouse than with a touchscreen.
In the case that this was deliberate omission to not interfere with gestures inside gallery (swiping left or right), I would suggest adding additional gesture (e.g.swiping image up) to make closing gallery more accessible, since hitting back arrow at the top left corner is not very convenient.
Steps to reproduce
Click on any image in chat
Touch anywhere on image or on the sides of it
Image gallery is not closing
Device info
Unigram 10.0.3 (8874) X64, TDLib 1.8.16, Surface Pro 8, Windows 11
This once used to work, in my opinion with touch screen it is not convenient to allow to close with an empty area (it works in a similar way in mobile clients)
Fair enough I just really hate reacting out to the top every time I need to close image 😅😅, so at least some other way to close them would be appreciated Either way, thanks for the answer
