S22 Ultra 256GB. After recent update, I saw there were 2 WhatsApp folders in Gallery. After reset, and deleting one folder, now I dont see any folders at all. So No images of WhatsApp can be downloaded or viewed in Gallery.
Media Visbility is ON.
.nomedia files were deleted as suggested.
Ultimately Factory Reset was done.
Still the problem persists.
Samsung says there is no problem witht he phone.
WhatsApp says there is no issue with WhatsApp.
Ultimately Samsung admitted there was a software issue, and a FOTA will be released soon
Has anyone faced such a problem?
What are your solutions?
Thanks.

Having a weird one with the Photos app. Photos that are deleted, keep re-populating after a couple of hours. It's over 200 images...
HTC One M8, rooted, SuperSU'd, and then flashed with TWRP to the standard Google Play Edition of KK 4.4.2 (that supposedly keeps OTA updates). I do have a 32gig SD card installed (technically I didn't format the SD card in the phone, just installed it and it was recognized and started working). The SD card does have a few apps and other data (music) on it.
Photos app on the M8 is NOT signed into my Google account (verified in the Photos app settings section). Looking at the Photos app on Google via my computer browser, these images do NOT show up (deleted, and emptied trash a couple days ago).
These images are not part of my Google Drive.
It almost seems like the Photos app thinks it is deleting the images, but a permissions issues keeps it from happening (even though the Photos app image view thinks it does).
Which kind of seems like what is going on, but I don't know how to solve if that's what it is. I had also installed Pixlr Express and Camera ZOOM a couple weeks ago. I've since deleted these two apps, but their subdirectory remnants remain...
Any ideas on this?
TIA.

Hey There,
I read this somewhere, that the 4.4.2 Android has issues deleting stuff -obviously pictures in this case- from the SDcard..
They will correct it with 4.4.3. ... or you have the chance to install a custom rom..it is prolly fixed there
Help!
I OTA upgraded my unrooted Google Pixel 2 XL with Android Pie to Q Beta 1, Beta 2 and Beta 2 patch. Now my Google Photos seems severely broken (even though I updated it to the latest version available).
When I edit a photo, a toast message tells that the changes could not be saved. The thumbnails shows the unchanged photo and when I open it, it still looks unchanged. But as soon as I start to zoom, the photo switches to the edited version (pretty obvious when changing a photo to b/w). It seems like the cached thumbnail (and small size local cache) stays unchanged.
I assumed a permission issue and tried several things: Revoking and re-granting all permissions for both Google Photos and Google Camera, granting permissions via adb but still no lock.
I forced closed Google Photos, deleted the complete data and synced anew. As soon as all photos have been retrieved from the cloud, Photos tells me to have several hundred changes to upload. Cannot be. I forced closed again, cleared the data, cleared the local photos folder and started anew. The same thing happened again. Buzzer. Before factory resetting the whole phone, I did a last try:
I switched scope storage off with adb and started Google Photos over again after having deleted everything once more. This time, Google Photos retrieved all Photos fine without wanting to upload anything after this.
So obviously, it was an issue releated to scoped storage.
But even now, editing photos still do not show the edited version in thumbnail view. I am rather desperate and thinking about factory resetting my phone. What keeps me from doing it, is that I fear the same behaviour might occur again since it is due to the Q Beta 2 + patch.
Any clues, hints tipps, whatever? This would be highly appreciated!
Thx, Andreas
I have just noticed that the changes are not submitted to the cloud. Even worse: They are treated as a copy, meaning that the original file is lost. The permissions seem to be messed up pretty badly.
I updated my pixel to beta 2 update with latest patch still having same problem , some bank apps I use don't work now too frustrating, Camera is lagging
same problem here, I return to stable one
deleted
I tried the instructions I gave and they didn't work
Just for update: Works flawlessly now with Beta 3
Hey guys,
I'm fairly new to my OnePlus 7t so I'm struggling to figure this one out.
I seem to have these odd media files that WhatsApp is picking up. I can't attach them as it says "the file format is not supported" and I can't locate them to delete them.
I've cleared the WhatsApp data, uninstalled and re installed. Gone through my local storage and can't find anything. I literally have no pictures or videos as I haven't transferred anything across from my old phone and I use a cleaner to remove all the WhatsApp junk from group chats.
Using latest EU firmware (not beta)
Scratching my head with this one. Anyone have any ideas of how I can remove these?
I don't think that's an issue with WhatsApp. Check your gallery
Hi, i am facing very weird problem.
Recently 2 weeks back i reset my phone and then set it up and copied back my data to phone. But from Past few days i am facing weird issue.
Whenever i download any picture. It's thumbnail show correctly in gallery. But while uploading on whatsapo, facebook, insta or telegram or any other app, it shows wrong thumbnail. When i click on that, it changes to correct photo, but thumbnail still shows incorrect.
This happens to most of the apps.
I already deleted thumbnail cache but still the same.
Interesting thing is that, it is showing thumbnails of the deleted photos which i downloaded previously from facebook.
Please don't recommend to reset my phone again.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Try clearing the app cache for Gallery. If that doesn't work clear app data for Gallery (don't worry, it won't delete any photos or videos).
Settings - > Apps - > Samsung Gallery -> Storage

Hello,
I have an issue with photos randomly disappearing from my camera gallery, when I send images (taken with my phone) to someone using viber app. Images seem to dissaper from the camera gallery and appear in a viber gallery however compressed (so lower quality).
I have tried to check images in my files, google photo, as well as clear cache, clear data, reinstall viber but it didn’t solve the problem.
Does anyone know why this would happen?
