Automatic photo scrolling in Photo Albums on iPhone

Since the terrible update to the PHOTOS at the end of last year, now when I go in to one of my photo albums, it keeps automatically moving from one photo, to the next, to the next. This is SUPER annoying, especially when I am trying to read detail on a photo I have saved (like school calendar dates) and while I am looking at it, it automatically zooms out and then moves on to the next photo in this album. Please help!!

You can turn the automatic preview off, see this page in the user guide: Customize the Photos app on iPhone - Apple Support (EG)

"Turn off the preview view in collections and albums

By default, a preview of your best shots automatically plays at the top of the screen when you open collections and albums. You can turn automatic previewing on or off.
