When I tap on an picture in a text conversation to make it full screen, then tap it once more to remove the bars at the top and bottom, if I return to the text conversation without tapping the image once again to bring the bars back the status bar with the person's name remains gone and I can't see who I'm texting. The only way to get it to reappear is to either return to the full screen version of the image and tap it again to bring back the bars or close the Messages app using the app switcher. It shouldn't do this, when I return to the conversation it should reappear, has anyone else experienced this glitch?
Got a tip for us?

By swiping right from the far left edge of the screen. I thought that was a built in feature of the iPhone?
If you swipe left on a picture in a messaging thread it either goes to the picture before it in the thread or nowhere. It never goes back to the message thread. Not to mention when you choose a picture in a thread the bars DONT pop up unless you tap the screen in the first place. I call shenanigans. 
I can't replicate this either.If you swipe left on a picture in a messaging thread it either goes to the picture before it in the thread or nowhere. It never goes back to the message thread.

Shenanigans? Why would I lie about this lol. When I say swipe right from the far left edge I mean the very edge of the screen, and this does not move to the previous picture. It used to be only available if you jailbroke but then like many great features it was adopted by Apple I believe. Maybe I'm wrong and it's still exclusive.If you swipe left on a picture in a messaging thread it either goes to the picture before it in the thread or nowhere.

Same behavior here--swiping left doesn't go back to the conversation.If you swipe left on a picture in a messaging thread it either goes to the picture before it in the thread or nowhere.

Are you talking about the 3D Touch action that brings up the previous app used only available on 6s and 6s Plus? Even with that you'd go to the precious app which wouldn't be Messages given that you are in messages already.
I said swiping right from the left edge, not swiping left.Swiping left doesn't ever go back to the conversation if you are in a photo of said conversation. It just....doesn't. You must have some magic phone

No I have a 6.
I meant to say swiping right from the left edge. In either case, swiping right or left doesn't get back to the conversation though.
Oh ok, hmm maybe that is a jailbreak tweak and that's what is causing my problem.
Seems like that was one of the first things that should have been mentioned rather than having everyone essentially pointlessly going around in circles.
That doesn't change the fact that it's important to mention something as important as the device being jailbroken when trying to troubleshoot something.
I deliberately refrained from even mentioning jailbreaking bc I knew people would immediately rule out any other possibile cause. In this case, however I turned out to be wrong.
Except it became petty clear that the described behavior wasn't native yet we kept on going in circles about it for no reason until finally the jailbreak part came out that should have been there way earlier.
