Windows
Phone includes some neat tricks to make browsing photos fun and easy.
Remember that like just about everything else on your phone, photos
respond to touch. And don’t forget to try the semihidden filmstrip
view, which lets you quickly flick through photos in an album.
1. View a Picture or a Video
On Start, tap Pictures.
Choose how you want to see your pictures organized—by album, date, or favorites.
If necessary, tap an album to open it, and then tap the picture or video you want to view.
If you tap a video, it starts playing. Use the playback controls to pause or resume it. If you tap a picture, you can:
Flick left or right to see other pictures.
Pinch a picture to its minimum size, then flick left or right to browse the album in filmstrip view.
Spread your fingers to zoom in on an image.
Double-tap a picture to instantly zoom out or in.
Turn your phone sideways to view pictures in landscape view.
Tip:
In Date view, tap a heading to quickly jump to a different month or year.
Tip:
You can also see your videos in the Music + Videos hub. Tap Videos, and then flick to Personal.
