Just an FYI both Android and iOS have a way to lock to a single image or other restrictions. I use it in airports when handing over my phone for a boarding pass or like your situation.

Just google it

One trick I just found when searching online was to zoom in a little. This depends on which app your using and how it's built. I tested a few apps on Android. Google Photos and Google Messages successfully locked from scrolling after zooming in slightly. On Samsung Gallery zooming in slightly helped prevent accidental swipes however if already scrolled to one side and another swipe gesture thats long enough comes around it'll still scroll

The zooming is what got me. Since it was on messenger and not the default gallery, she kept swiping and scrolled on the previous image. Messenger is less forgiving with this stuff I guess.

That is really good to know. Even though I've opted not to have any more spicy photos running around, it's good to know that I can lock to a specific photo.

TSA has already seen your ding dong before you even get to the gate.

I'm not worried about pictures with TSA. Phones can contain a lot of access privileges, especially if you are an IT admin for a number of companies and have a legal responsibility to protect their data.
