The photo app redesign looks great on paper, but is terrible in practice.
Watching videos in full screen, with audio on, and without controls overlay (I hope I am not asking too much!) requires multiple taps and several frustrating attempts every-single-time.
Activity on your shared albums has been relegated to a small text-only link, and you only get to see small photos, and it doesn’t smartly tiles photos together anymore (photos are now randomly chopped to fit in the frame).
The photo app gets badges, but then you don’t know where to find the new activity inside the photo app.
There is no way changes like these were created, tested, and validated by a well-functioning team
Also, watching videos full screen and scrubbing around in the video requires backing out to the smaller view. Then you get to fast forward/rewind. Then you have to tap to watch full screen again. Everything about this experience has gotten worse. I can’t even come up with a use case in which this is an improvement.
