Description

### Your use case

#### What would you like to do?

Make the swipe down threshold to dismiss the image lightbox much smaller in-line with other apps on the platform

#### Why would you like to do it?

When I open an image, it often takes me several swipes down for me to dismiss the lightbox and go back to the timeline. The swipe threshold is way too big compared to all other apps I use like Google Photos, YouTube, and Snapchat.
