Pressing back after viewing pictures

[Pinkywoo]

This has always been the case since I started using Mumsnet several years ago, but I've only just been arsed to start a thread about it! When I finish reading a thread I press the "back" arrow on my phone to return to the list of threads in that section, except when I've looked at a picture attached to a post I have to press it three times to get back. If I've looked at several pictures it's three times for each one which is crazy, why does it do this MNHQ, why?!

Desktop site iPhone safari. Has always done this. Kind of puts me off accessing photos.

I agree, it's always done this.

Always done this. I hit ‘Active’ to get round it but when you forget, it’s bloody annoying. iPhone user.

It has always done it, but it's always annoyed me!

Hi - thanks for all the reports on this. Just to confirm that this happens because it's an image carousel - to exit just click the x in the bottom right corner.

We don't have any plans to change this at the moment but will consider it if we do ever make changes.
