The bug

Here you can see a photo in the Immich app in full screen:

Here you can see the same photo in the Oneplu's photos app, also in full screen:

Both the bottom navigation bar and the info on top (battery, date, wifi, bt...) should not appear in Immich when viewing photos full screen.

"Beta" is set.

I'm not sure, whether these UI elements should be hidden. I believe this is working as expected

FWIW here are my two cents…

Every photos app I’ve ever used hides these system elements when in “full screen” (viewing an asset and having the photo app menu buttons hidden), so personally I would say they should get hidden when hiding the Immich menu. Most of the time it doesn’t really matter but when viewing stuff like screen shots that take up the entire screen they can get in the way (or on iPads where the bottom nav bar will always be covering part of the picture). To be clear I’m not saying they should stay hidden all the time when viewing an asset, only when having the Immich menu buttons dismissed, to get a true full screen view.

Edit: I do agree that this isn’t really a bug, as it’s probably working as intended, more of a feature request Nvm, feature request doesn’t really fit. Idk what I was thinking at midnight 😆. Working as intended or not, it’s undesired in terms of UX.

For me it is a bug, as it is the only way of seeing my photos (but the recent ones I can see using the phone's photos app)... and what I like to see are the photos, not the actual time nor the remaining battery...
Thank you both.

Now that you mention it, I remember seeing it work on iOS in an unrelated issue report as well. So maybe it doesn’t affect everyone? Tho I can confirm it doesn’t work on any of my devices
