Android Central Question

In the last few weeks I upgraded my Apha from 2014 to 2017 model. The phone is running Android 7.0 and Samsung Experience 8.1.

In the 2014 model, selecting a portrait image from Gallery opened the image in full screen. Clicking on the image then displayed options (delete; share etc) on a translucent bar at the top and thumbnails of other images in Gallery at the bottom. Opening landscape images and turning the phone horizontal also displayed the images full screen.

With my 2017 model all images open with options on a fixed white bar at the bottom and a back button on a fixed white bar at the top ie they do not display in full screen.

The 2014 version is s much better way of looking at photos. Is there a way of changing settings in my 2017 model to be the same as 2014?

Tx
