Oh shot means no privacy la this phone
:*)
You should just tell your friends to respect your privacy and don't open the album app.
Alternatively, you can download quickpic and combine it with a file manager
Press thanks if I helped

There are a lot of apps on Google play who can lock-hide make them private,do a search and try the app

If you are using a fileexplorer you can copy your private images to a seperate folder. In that folder you have to create a new file ".nomedia" then this folder wont show up in the album at all. If you want to look at these images you have to use the fileexplorer.

Hello,
How are you?
I have a small problem.
My gallery app shows 4 albums I do not want there.
I select them, but there is no delete option.
The albums are:
- Wall pictures
- Profile Pictures
- Blogger Pictures
- An experimental blog I started.
I went to the account sync and disabled google photos, but the albums are still there.
Any solution?
Thank you.
Best wishes!

Use Root Explorer (download it from Play Store) to create a file called .nomedia in whatever folder on your sd card from which you do not want any pictures showing up in your gallery. This works 100%

You can also just do a search from your computer of your phone and copy and paste the file to where you want. Subdirectories will also be excluded so just stick it in the parent folder.
I have some photos in my SD card which showed up properly in the gallery before. However, all those photos don't show up after I flashed a new Rom. Only photos taken after flashing are showed in the gallery. I tried to reboot, wipe cache, rescan media but nothing success.
Any one can help?

Yes, because different Roms use different folders for gallery. Just take a picture and browse your card and see where it puts it (somewhere in DCIM folder). After locating the folder just move the photos from old folder to the new one where your picture was taken and you should now see all your photos.(Some roms put pictures in folder named "100Andro", other in "pictures", "images", "camera".....

Yes, I toke a testing picture, located the new folder "Camera" and move all old photos to there. But still just the testing picture is shown up. All moved old pictures are still missing in the gallery. Already reboot to renew the media library.
Can you try using a 3rd party pic viewer I use quickpic, which seems to work well.

Thanks. I also used quick pic and it loads all pictures. But I prefer SE stock gallery as there is a geo map function, so wanna sort out a solution.
Sent from my Xperia Arc using Tapatalk 2
try some of these
- clear all defaults for the gallery app
- clear all data
- take out and put back in sd card
- make another gallery app the default and then reboot, clear defaults and revert default back to the stock gallery app
When I open the gallery app it is grabbing all the photos I have there this is a major issue for me because I have over 1300 books with covers and I have thousands of photos saved in my dropbox account. This is causing my gallery to be extremely slow.
Is there a place in settungs I can limit what gallery looks at? Or do I need to go to each folder and put .nomedia file in each folder.

go to gallery app, click options, click view by and from there you can choose which accounts to have or not to have inside your gallery. just disable dropbox, picasa etc. and you will see the speed back to normal. hope this helps.
Hi,
I have noticed that, default camera apps load all the pics from your storage's "DCIM" folder and its subfolders.
Do we have any solution on this?
its supposed to do that. DCIM folder is specifically for the pictures taken by your camera. just put the pictures in a different folder than DCIM. They wont show up in your camera app and in default galley's collection.

Agree, but other folder under DCIM are not created by me, these are app generated. Like FB App, creates it folder under DCIM as "FaceBook" to save the pics from app. What do you suggest?

I tried the same thing and yes any file in DCIM or in its sub folder is showing on camera app. I think this has to do something with the facebook app. None of the other apps are saving pictures in the DCIM folder in my phone.

All my music albums are appearing in the gallery and i have hundreds of music albums !! (Didnt happen in my old samsung phone which was very latest too - A70) - And, i have confirmed its a one UI 2.0 thingy.
I have songs with custom Albumarts embedded transferred from PC to Mobile.
create a .nomedia file in the music folder and it will stop the pictures from appearing OR in the gallery app click menu settings and hide the folders

I just created a blank text file with ".nomedia" name and copied it to my Music folder on my phone sd card, and the albums are still there.
PS: I want to make file on my PC only, hence pls inform solution tht can be done via computer.

Do it like this:
If you have all your music files in a folder called Music, rename the folder by adding a dot to the folder name with a file explorer app. (like this: .Music)
This way the albumart isn't visible in gallery (have done this myself)
Keep in mind that some music player apps aren't able to find the music in the folder when done the above.
In my case Pulsar+ couldn't find my music in the folder if I let it scan for music.
Omnia (from the same developer as Pulsar+ is working fine tho.
With Omnia I have to manually tell Omnia in which folders contain music.
While Pulsar+ just scans the phone for folders containg musicfiles and I can add exclusions afterwards.
Keep in mind also that some file explorer apps can't find the folder after you have added the dot in front of the folder name.
I am using Solid Explorer and have to enable 'show hidden folders' in the app settings after I have added the dot.

Now inside my SD card, i cannot create .XXX folder as it says "You must typre a file name" Error. BUT, inside Music folder - when i copy my music albums i renamed them to .music succesfully.
Now, the albums are neither appearing in my gallery nor on my samsung music player

I am sorry to hear that my suggestion didn't work for you.
Then i would suggest to revert the changes you have done and hide the folders containing albumart in the gallery app itself, like user brunsman6229 suggested.
