80 Chapter 7 : Photos, videos, and music
The following table shows you the picture formats that you can see on
your device and the apps you can see them in.
NOTE You can download and look at GIFs in Email, and they are saved to USB
storage, but you can't look at GIFs in Photos & Videos or use one as wallpaper.
When I tap on a GIF attachment in Email all I get is the Copy To Photos
button - no picture, and nothing is copied to Photos & Videos. Dudley
Wong has created bug DFISH-13157 for this. There are still problems with
this in build 3023.
You can also look at pictures on the web directly in the web browser (see
Web).
1 Open Photos & Videos .
2 Tap the album containing the picture, and tap the thumbnail of the
picture.
3 Swipe left or right on the screen to look at other pictures in the
album.

not visible.
