Enable swipe gesture for multi-image component on mobile

Hi Glide team,

First of all, I’d like to say that the platform is excellent and the experience you’ve built—especially for mobile—is really impressive.

I’d like to suggest a small but meaningful improvement regarding the Image component when it’s connected to a multiple images field.

Currently, navigation between images relies mainly on taps or controls. It would be great to support native swipe gestures on mobile devices, allowing users to slide horizontally between images with their finger, both in the gallery and especially in fullscreen view.

This interaction is very common in modern mobile apps and galleries (e.g., Instagram, device photo galleries, etc.), and users are already highly accustomed to it. Incorporating this behavior could make the experience feel even more natural and intuitive.

I completely understand there may be technical considerations behind this, but I believe it would be a valuable enhancement for many use cases where image browsing is important.

Thanks again for the great work, and for continuously improving the platform.

Best regards.

use an AI custom component. Here’s one i’ve build for this functionality. Be sure to use a comma seperated URL list of images. You could do this via a joined list column.

Thank you, excellent solution. However, I need the same Glide image component so that when you click or tap it, the photo opens as it normally does, and then allows you to swipe from one image to another in full screen. Anyway, thank you very much for the contribution — I’ll test it more thoroughly later.
Best regards!
