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

Seems to be resolved. I was definitely being patient for each pic, tested on several images/posts/instances with the same result each time, but now it works. Sorry for the false positive

Device information

Sync version: v23.09.13-09:43    
Sync flavor: googlePlay    

Ultra user: false    
View type: Compact    
Push enabled: false    

Device: bluejay    
Model: Google Pixel 6a    
Android: 13

When tapping to view an image, I get this:

Well, I can't even tell if there's an image in my reply, but I tried to add a screenshot

I see it now too. I don't know what was happening, but the only thing I think has changed is that Sync has crashed on me a few times since, and maybe... Magic happened? I really don't know.

I am using Compact mode and experiencing the same thing in the latest update.
