Description
Add Gallery preview to reader like on Android:
Just an FYI: in the Android reader, tapping any image zooms into a view like the one Davide proposes above, and you can swipe through all the images in the post.

Research direction
The issue names the reader and describes the Android gallery behavior, but no iOS files or tests. Start by locating the reader's image handling and compare it with the behavior shown; done means tapping an image opens a gallery preview and swiping moves through all images in the post.
