How to Swipe Down on a Photo to Return to Album View

In the days of iOS 8, we had arrows leading from photos to album view. While the navigation arrow is still there, now, there’s an easier way. If you’re viewing a single photo, with one swipe of the finger you can return to viewing the album.

To try the Photo shortcut, open Photos, select an album, and tap a picture.

From the opened photo, swipe down with one finger. You're back to viewing the album.
