Follow these steps to hide the app data from your gallery.
1. Open the HTC Gallery app.
2. On the top right corner, next to the search icon, click on the three-dot options button.
3. Select 'Show/Hide Albums'
4. Click on the option button again and then select 'Deselect All'
5. Scroll through the options and tick the albums you want to be displayed in your Gallery.
6. Click Save.
7. Your problem is solved.
I hope this helps. If your problem is solved, please thumbs up this post.
When I go to preview photos after taking a few pictures, (by clicking the gallery circle at the bottom right in the camera) I can only see the LAST picture taken and do not have the ability to swipe to any others. I never had a phone that worked like this and its kinda annoying to have to leave the camera app, then go open the gallery and find latest photos just to preview them, possibly delete them, then have to go BACK into the camera app to retake and repeat jumping between apps..
Is there a setting I have on that's causing this?
This function (or lack of) really just doesn't make any sense.
You need to go reset the default app that's associated. For example, I previously had clicked that preview picture and opened with (and set to default) Google photos, which only shows one picture and does not swipe. I went into google photos and cleared defaults, then went back into the camera app and clicked the preview picture. I then selected gallery and it allows me to swipe through all my pictures.

worked!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SOLUTION: update to OxygenOS 3.1.3 or higher

hi, I have a OP3, but in the app "google photos" and in the "gallery" only the pictures shot with my OP3 are showing, including screenshots.
So I'm missing my whatsapp pictures (using GBwhatsapp) photos stored in: internalStorage/GBWhatsapp/media/GBwhatsappImages
als missing downloaded pictures (download with chrome & slimsocial app), phones stored in:
internalStorage/pictures
internalStorage/Download
I've read that more people can't find their photos (download or from other apps) in the Google photo's app,
If I look in device folders I only see my screenshot.
Are there more people with this problem? or Am I doing something wrong?
In the past I used QuickPic, I tried that and it's working fine, displays all my pictures/videos!
But I prefer google photo, so I'd rather have that working.
No one with the same problem?
Open menu in Google Folders on the side, and choose: local folders.
does it help?

No, it only shows the screenshots I took. no downloaded images
I updated to OxygenOS 3.1.3 and the problem is fixed
Whenever I take a new picture with the Camera, it shows on the bottom right hand corner immediately. However, when I then click on the photo, it brings me to the photo app and the new picture does not show. If I switch in photos to device folders, the new pictures show. I've tried setting the camera to store the pictures on both internal and external storage with no luck. If immediately after I take the picture, I open up QuickPic the new picture is there. I am running the latest viper rom, with latest firmware etc.
Anyone else experience this or have some thoughts?

yes and i believe the camera app is going to need an update to fix this. It has something to do with a recent update to google photos.
So, i would like to ask with new phone startup, we have to select a host of google services.
PLease inform how to enable/disable the following two services within phone if i change my mind later.
On the side note: Backup to google drive = isnt it same service as syncing ? (tht we do of phone numbers, email, calender)

First location services.
Device /Settings /Location/
At top Either select" Improve accuracy" and you can switch it off.
I keep my selection off as i found /discovered in the
BetterbatteryStats app that i use to monitor battery drain, deep sleep etc etc,
wifi is kept always on in background
(It does not sleep when your phone screen is off.)
The other is still in Location section... just above it (Improve accuracy) .
"Apps premission"
tap and then select relevant app tap that app and when options appears select Either
"... allow alll the time / Allow only while using the app/ Deny.."
Secondly the G backup i always use.
It also backups , Wifi pswds. Play store apps etc.
Device /Settings /Google /Backups
Switch on or off.
I use G backup to G drive combined with Samsung's backup.
G backup for Play store etc
and select Samsung Backup only to do the Samsung apps etc.
Wanted to post screen shots but currently not on my Note 10+
Good luck.

Thank you for to the point solution. :good:
Now, i have two questions:
Are you sure the question related to first image is this options only inside phone, coz, it doesnt explicitly refer to the 2 options mentioned in the screenshot.
Lastly, On the apps where selected gps “Allow all the time”, the apps still requesting access to GPS signal when fired on and does not automatically turn on the GPS by default . (Ex: Uber) ?

Ok, im back on my Note 10+ ,
Your first screen shot Location,
has 2 x options (according to me and that's the reason why I said 2 x options.)
You again, see it as only one option.
Sorry, if i confused you.
Anyway i will refer to your first screenshot
"Use Location" and " Allow scanning"
that you can either enable or disable.
That why i referred to as 2 options.
Now look at my screenshot below, the screenshot that's marked 1 and 2 on it.
Your Screenshot ask for permission "Use Location"
see my screenshot " App permission." which I marked 1.
There you can change every apps permissions
Inside that subsection tap on app and you will get
options to Allow all the time, /only while using the app.
or see my screenshot.
Still with your first screenshot, (which i call second option in my previous post )
marked "Allow scanning"
Again check my relevant screenshot.
This basic means that even if you have switched off your wifi/Bluetooth, it's still running in background.
So your device is not completely in a Deep Sleep state..!
This fact i found out when i checked my Betterbatterystats results.
That why i said i recommend to switch it off.. think if it's always on in background... extra battery drain.
Most probably not a lot, battery drain ( you can decide.)
example.......
So if your device was in deep sleep for 4 hours, then your wifi / bluetooth, would have been running in background for 4 hours.
Hope i explained it better this time.?
Good luck.

Yup it seems to be all okay
Just finished complete setup of my new phone, but ran into a new problem -- 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)

From what i understand your music albums. (no music tracks as such) are showing up with you pictures/videos, in the Gallery pictures app )
For me this should be normal, under certain conditions.
example.
If i check my Gallery ( picture) app,
bottom there's a section..........
listed "Pictures.... Albums......Stories.. Shared"
If i select Pictures section i only get "Pictures and videos mixed"
Under Album section... (bottom of Gallery app)
Some of my music albums shows up here, but if you select that particular music album, it only shows you the Albums art / picture, no music tracks. !
Similar with video album shown.
If you tap that particular video album only the album art of that particular video is shown
See screenshot of what i mean.
This, as far as i am concerned "this " is quite correct.
Good luck

Yes, i always view in "My Gallery" - "Albums" .
The music artwork folders are appearing in gallery and yes they are images only , but it completely messed up my gallery view as i have hundreds of music albums.
If i just go to pictures, i cant navigate properly as i have thousands of pictures in different folders !!
PS: This never happened in any of other Samsung phones til date

I checked my music files on my sd card.
I have quite a few Albums in my music folders.
However , in my case i hardly have any album art that shows
Only maybe one or two.?
I must add i think my circumstances is different.?
When i purchase an music "Album" eg Google Play music,
I download it to my laptop and then just copy duplicate folder, over to my sd music folder.
I see all those folders, there's no albums art showing/visible, in relevant music folder (if you access it with a file explorer app.).......
However,
the one or two album art thumbnails, that i custom placed thumbnail in that album, does show up in Gallery app.
Yet,
when I go to my music player eg Poweramp, my album art thumbnails does show. and the album art also shows when playing the relevant music album.
Bottom line
As a test.... i deleted the album art thumbnail, showing/visible, in music album folder with a file explorer.
Checked my Gallery app... it gone no more showing...!
Maybe do a test and see results.?
Good luck.

Tried everything but all my music albums still shows in Gallery and i confirmed its a one UI 2.0 thing.
All phones running any prior versions doesnt exhibit same problems.
PS: i copy my own music with custom thumnail from PC to Sd card !

Yes ,
that's why your custom art thumbnails are showing up in Gallery app !
I found that , if the music art thumbnails , were embedded,
as it's the case with most of my music albums songs, it does not show !!
Thinking about this now (to me ) it's logical that if you place a photo/custom art thumbnail in folder,
your Gallery app should "see/find " it ?
In the past i used to place a ".nomedia " file ( in a relevant folder) for it to be excluded .
The Samsung Gallery app ( as far as i am aware ) does not have a option to exclude/hide a "certain " folder , as eg. my other gallery app Piktures i use ( mentioned below )
Further , combinded to the Gallery app ,
I also use " Piktures " gallery app
(free Version Play store ) ,which has the option to edit and hide albums .
good luck .
