Hello,

After the introduction of **pinch-to-zoom** in the image preview (which by the way is awesome!) we’ve received some feedback from our users. Previously it was possible to exit the preview by tapping the backdrop, and this is a behavior many users now miss.

I assume there’s a good reason for removing it, but I nevertheless wanted to pass this feedback along to you.

Erlend

Hi!

As this is something that used to work, it has been prioritised. It will be included in our first release after the holiday break, planned for January 8th.
