when I go on focus mode, I can't zoom in on the image, when I try to zoom in I swipe left or right to the other images.
this is not the expected behaviour if we take as an example both the mobile web version of wikipedia or the commons mobile web.
shall we change it or it will stay like this?

Zooming was not the point of this task so I would suggest moving to design sign off but I agree it is a very natural thing to do and an expectation for many people. Can we create a new task for it?
