How To Disable the New Photo Viewer And Get the Old Version Back?

Facebook rolled out a new Photo Viewer to everyone over the past few weeks. Now, it is possible to browse photos faster without having to lose your place in Facebook. The new Photo Viewer displays the photo and comments in a dark pop-up window.

This means that you can now view photos and even whole albums without even having to go to a new page.

This new Photo Viewer has increased the size of the photos stored from 720 pixels to 2048 pixels on the largest edge, for an 8 times increase overall.

With the new uploader, it is possible to tag multiple photos in the same album all at once, as well as tag photos of the same person with a lot less effort.

Some of us do like this new feature but some don’t.
If you don’t like this new dark pop-up photo viewer and want to switch back to the old viewer here are a couple of tips for you.

Tip 1- Refresh The Page

Refresh the page by hitting on F5

Tip 2- Remove “&theather” from the URL

Delete it and load the page again
