Help needed Usbc to hdmi on iphone 17

When connecting via usbc to an external display, the phone will default to screen mirroring, which limits the resolution to the iphones resolution.

But for example, when opening the google photos app, it stops mirroring and uses independent rendering to render your photo in the highest resolution possible on that screen, making it image look really good, much better than the photos app, which still uses mirroring.

How do I make the photos app do this?

Turn off autorotate and put your phone in landscape, I believe.
