Optimization WooCommerce Product Gallery (Beta) for Mobile

First off let me thank you for this feature and the work you’ve been putting in. There have been improvements in the last months that i like very much, like loading all the product images in the gallery instead of just three.

Nonetheless i’d like to request the optimization of the mobile handling of the product gallery.

1) Vertical swiping motion is not possible on mobile in the area of the gallery image. That is very restrictive since it takes up a lot of space of the screen. Important is the distinction between swiping motion and a touch motion for like zooming on on the gallery.

2) Optimizing behaviour with pictures that are not square.
It seems that in the case of rectangular pictures it doesn’t put the next-previous buttons inside the picture. The rectangular gallery image doesn’t use the width of the rest of the content even though the option: inner blocks use the width of the content is activated.

3) Next-previous button styling

4) Gallery with the possibility of a carousel effect. On the last picture of the gallery – if you swipe in the same direction, it skips back to the first picture.

There is a thread online that might share some light on some of this things:

Thank You &
Best regards.
