A while ago, Facebook rolled out the revamped photo viewer, which put comments, buttons and ads in the right sidebar and added a black background. Many users were disappointed by the changes Facebook made to its Photo Viewer, but later, everybody seemed to enjoy the new photo viewing experience. Today two more new features are added to its photo viewers. Read on to know what changes Facebook has made this time.
What’s new? In the new photo viewer, Facebook photos will automatically appear in the highest resolution possible. This news could be exciting for users who use Facebook on large monitors as they will now see up to 4 times bigger pictures than before. Second new feature brings Full Screen viewing. Users are now allowed to browse Facebook Photos in full screen mode, just like Windows Photo Viewer. The full screen feature in only available for Firefox and Chrome browser.
View Facebook Photos In Full Screen Mode
You can now view Facebook photos in full screen mode with black background and no annoying sidebar. There are two ways to switch to full screen mode. One way is, while viewing a photo, to click the ‘Arrow’ at the top right corner of the photo, and it will expand to full screen. Another way to activate full screen mode is hit the ‘Options’ button at the bottom of a photo in the photo viewer and then select ‘Full Screen’ from the menu that appears. Take a look at the screenshot below to know how it will be done.
During full screen mode, you can still like/share the photo and submit your comments. You’re provided with a few options across the bottom, including Like, Share, Comments, Tag Photos and options. You can use these features the same way you used to. If you want, you can still make Sidebar display in the right side by hitting the ‘Comments’ button. A right sidebar will pop-up, as you try to comment on the picture during full screen mode.
You can use left and right arrows to move to the next photo. Hitting the ‘Esc’ key on your keyboard will deactivate the full screen mode and take you back to the normal mode. There should be a keyboard shortcut, but I don’t know yet what keyboard shortcut is used for switching to full screen mode. If anybody knows, please share with us in the comments section below. Try out the new photo editor now and share your views !!
