iOS 27-Photos App-Double tap the photos/videos zoom issue

ios 27 - photos app - double tap on photos / videos - it was working so cool before updating (i.e in ios 26). Now this is not working perfectly. In ios 26, if I double tap (on screen) the photo/video, it perfectly zoomed in to my full iphone15 screen and looking very nice. Now after ios 27 update, this is not working, it zooms in fully to the photo/video irrespective of screen size, it causes the image to pixelate. Please help

Sometimes more useful that a simple power off is a forced re-start:

Force restart iPhone - Apple Support

For me, the logo appears  5 or 10 seconds past the "slide to power off" message. Wait for the logo; don't do the slide thing. 


Let us know if this helps…

What have you tried to resolve the issue? It's worked as expected in iOS 27 for me. The simplest fix is usually just turning your device off and on again.
