The Gallery app isn’t just a place for storing photos
and videos, as you’ll soon discoverViewing photos
The Gallery app
fundamentally does what
its name suggests; it off ers a
great way of simply viewing
all your photos. In recent
updates the Gallery app has
now expanded into areas
of photo editing and video
management (Fig 1).Navigate your albums
Whenever you save a photo
or video on your Galaxy
device, it’s automatically
added to a default album
within the Gallery app.
Which album it’s saved into
depends on the size, type
and origin of the photo or
video. Most of the time you’ll
fi nd your fi les stored in the
Camera and Video folders, but occasionally you might fi nd them
in similar albums. Many third-party apps will add their own unique
albums to the Gallery app. An example of this is WhatsApp, which
adds its own album for all the photos that are sent to you through
the messaging platform. The way your albums are arranged is very
straightforward. All of your albums are arranged in a list down the
left side of the screen that lets you quickly hop between diff erent
folders and by tapping on an album the contents will be displayed
to the right. The other screen furniture includes icons to create
new albums, launch the Camera app and access a menu of otherStore media files
