Screen goes black when viewing photos

I recently bought an iPhone 11 Pro Max and sometimes when I am trying to view a photo in the Photos app the screen goes black. The phone hasn't locked, and I have to lock it, unlock and then try and quickly swipe up to get back to the home page before it goes black again. This also sometimes happens when I'm on Instagram - usually when I try to watch a video from a grid post (stories are fine). I have installed the latest software updates. If anyone has any ideas on what might be going wrong I would really appreciate it. Thank you!

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 17

Expressing your feel or conveying visual experiences effectively through these forums may be challenging. For more personalized and in-depth assistance, I recommend securing a Genius Bar Reservation and exploring the various support options provided by Apple.


Get a Genius Bar Reservation and Apple Support Options - Apple

When you encounter issues with your Apple devices, the Genius Bar at Apple Retail Stores is the go-to place for expert assistance. The Genius Bar is staffed by knowledgeable Apple employees, often referred to as "Geniuses," who can diagnose and resolve a wide range of hardware and software-related problems. To ensure personalized attention and a convenient visit, Apple provides the option to schedule a Genius Bar Reservation.
