I’ve noticed since updating this morning that clicking images (not sure what it’s officially called, the Image Preview? when you click an image post without loading the post comments) frequently loads a blank screen. Only clicking back and then on the image again gets it to load properly.
There should be an update available that fixes this.
Just downloaded the update and can confirm that fixed the issue. Your turn around time continues to amaze me. I work in a corporate environment where we have to write user stories, discuss them in backlog grooming, do sprint planning, develop, test, go through a Change Advisory Board approval, do release planning, then deployment.
The fact that I can just comment in one of your threads about something weird I’m seeing and then you fix it in less than a day is nothing short of astonishing. You rock!

Can you share a screenshot of what you mean?
Thanks
Hope this helps.
This happens with almost every image, but not all. Maybe 90%?
Getting the same issue
I have the same issue, hard to take a picture of a blank screen so I’ll try and be specific with steps to reproduce
I’m using small cards. Click on an image on the right side of a small card
Expected result the image opens up, I can swipe to close it.
Actual result screen is black sometimes with a loading icon. It stays this way indefinitely. Closing the image and clicking it again let’s it display as expected
This scenario has happened to me, too, so many times:
I wait a random number of seconds each time, so it’d be a really funny coincidence if the image finished loading exactly when I give up every time.
I do have slow cell service in certain locations, so sometimes the image is just slow to load, I’m sure. But the timing of the image finally appearing in step 3 above is too precise to be a coincidence the number of times it’s happened.
Edit: since writing this comment, every image I’ve tapped gives the black loading screen and I haven’t waited even 1 second before tapping back and tapping the thumbnail again, and then the image immediately loads.
That’s the exact behavior I get as well. As soon as I hit back the image flashes for a split second.
Turns out it happens every time on the current version, but I was having the black screen problem on the last version, too.
Oh, I’ve seen that behavior only one time the other day. Maybe the black overlay is taken away a split second before the image itself is. On my phone that usually doesn’t happen. Tapping the Android back button simply goes back to the list.
I think you said you tap the screen itself to cancel. I’ll try that.Nope, wasn’t you. You said you use the back button as well.Funny that I said I don’t see that, and then it immediately happens to me.
I came here to say this as well! Using Android 13.
Same here. I just click the image from my frontpage and it just loads to a black screen. If I hold down on the image it will pop up in the full screen preview though. I’m on small cards.
Do you mean peeking? When it only appears while you hold?
I didn’t even know peeking was a thing until you mentioned it. Oddly enough, that works fine. Tapping the thumbnail gets a blank screen. Holding gets it to load.
