1. when I click on ‘places’ the map appears but is frozen and not interactive. All the other menu options (timeline, album, people, settings) disappear, so the only way to exit the ‘places’ view is to close and open the app. Map works fine in the web version.

2. when looking at a picture or video, there doesn’t seem to be a way to full screen it. This would be nice to have instead of the small image in the top third of the screen and photo details taking up the other two thirds.

3. no videos seem to play back in the app. Confirmed with videos that play back fine in the web version

Starting by the endm, issue 3: I can't press on play now in the iOS app.
I am 99% sure that in the past, it was an option of play, and it would go fullscreen.
It appeared it was launching an external player, maybe system, as I observed similar behaviour in other apps.
It was the same phone, with older OS. My photoview server hardware and version was also different. dunno if it's related.

I cannot play ANY video of ANY origin (AVI, mp4, mov), but all of them (the ones I tried) can be played in the web version, even in the same iPhone Xr. The play button appears, I can't confirm if they play because the server is very slow, it is transcoding now.
Its is not a permissions issue because I can download the video though photoview web interface.

Issue number 2 might be solved if issue number 2 is solved.

Thank you very much for your work :)

Well i just confirmed
In my wife’s iPhone, same model, older iOS
iPhone Xr, iOS 15.6.1

videos playback in the app
The play button appears and when pressed,
Play the video “in a new window “ like I remembered.

maybe the app needs and update regarding the video playback?
