Why this was split off I have no idea. this is only a small part of the issue. The issue is the new image implementation is ■■■■. No idea if a hires has loaded or not. And I’m not the only one, see previous messages in the other thread. Has anyone followed the thread? It’s a janky solution. No website I know of on the net loads images this way because you just don’t even know. Leaves the user sitting there wondering. Tap to pop out was perfect and expected behavior. The way it is is not UX friendly at all. Sometimes they load sometimes they don’t. I love the implication that it’s my device… Pixel 6a with Android 13. Again look back, this is happening with other people as well.
Here are links to other users experiencing similar issues. It’s just a bad UX experience all around.
