Photos resized in iOS 18

Are you saying that your in Full Screen your pictures don't fill the screen both directions? Like my example filled the screen on the short dimension (vertical for my picture) but didn't fill the long dimension (horizontal for mine?)

My picture was made on a Nikon. Are you talking about picture made with your phone's camera? What aspect ratio have you chosen with your camera when you take a picture? The native aspect ratio of the sensor is 4:3-- that's true of pretty much all sensors, including my Nikon. 4:3 is the same as 16:12

But I cropped my Gorilla picture to 16:9, since that's the aspect ratio of my TV and of the computer monitor I sometimes use. That means I cut off the top and bottom to change 16:12 to 16:9 so it would expand to the width of the screen.

If you set the aspect ratio on your camera to 16:9, then it will fill more of the screen. For me, I don't have my camera cut the top and bottom off-- I take my pictures 4:3 and then do the cropping myself.

The iPhone screen is 19.5 : 9, so it's way wider, and so there are always borders on the long side, unless you zoom in and cut more off the top and bottom.

While I am not sure of what you are saying in your posts (“Landscape” is the photography term for a photo that is wider and has always been used for video and photos of landscapes. “Portrait” has always been tall photos such as a “portrait” of a person).

That being said, I have found that this post of yours to be a perfect example of what I am fed up with in the photos app in iOS 18.2. I take 99% of my iPhone photos in 16:9 because they are of landscapes, scenery. And when I used to tap on the Landscape video or photos app, it would fill the screen like the first photo. Now all videos and photos look like the second photo you posted. You can’s even watch a video in full screen and fast forward it without it being in this ridiculous tiny view. So frustrating. Apple needs to fix this.

“Port

My pictures fill the screen.

Of course, there are thumbnails,

and Edit Mode

as well as full screen.

Do you not see all of these views?
