Q: When using slideshow with guided access, my photos become zoomed in. Is there a way to fix this?

For whatever reason, when using guided access during a slideshow, all of the photos become extremely zoomed in.

There seems to be no way to fix this unless you turn off guided access.

iOS 7.0.4

    Does this for me too! And the worst part is, it seems it would've behaved fine with iOS 6, but I just updated it to 7. Running 7.0.4 on a 3rd gen iPad.

     

    Please fix this bug, Apple. Seems like this would be a common thing to do (guided access during slideshow), yet it obviously doesn't work!

    Just found a workaround, thank goodness!  If you setup the guided access how you like before starting the slideshow, it works!  Any time you resume guided access during a slideshow is when the bug occurs.  So I found that you just have to set it how you want it outside of the photo app, turn it back off, start your slideshow, turn it on, and you should be set!

    Tried you fix since I have the same problem but I'm turning off the touch commands so I can't activate the slideshow after activating guided view. Going to submit it to Apple as a bug becuase everyone is correct, it wasn't like this on iOS 6.

    Yeah definitely do, because it is seriously annoying!

     

    But if you restart the photos app, start the slideshow again, and then begin the guided access you should be good. Restarting the photo app will get rid of the bug until you edit the guided access again.

    I have submitted to Apples Ipad Feedback submit page but Apple won't respond to those submissions.

    https://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

     

    As an iOS Developer I didn't think it would hurt to submit through the Dev Bug Reporter where I'm actually likely to get a response to so I'll update if and when I hear back! Hopefully we can help them fix this bug so others don't have to worry about it in the future!
