What is a Gallery Component?

A gallery component allows you to add a gallery containing one or more images to your app. This gallery can be viewed as a slideshow on your app. Only PNG, JPEG (.jpg/.jpeg), GIF, and TIFF files can be added to a gallery component.

Why use the Gallery Component?

Galleries are a great way to include multiple images on one screen, creating a ‘photo album’ where the user can browse photos in a series. Commonly this is used to add images from an event or similar occasion where there are multiple images to browse.
