Gallery problem mixing all photos in Camera Roll

[efrommel]

Im having a problem WITH the gallery and is that when i receive a pic from let's say a whatapps group chat, it appears in the camera roll of the stock camera. Is there a walk around or fix to this?

Maybe change the gallery for another?

In the s7 this doesnt happens.
Thanks for the help

I'm facing the same issue, whole gallery is messed up. I have thousands of pictures neatly sorted in different folders and gallery mixes them all up together and shows them in date order, absolutely the last thing i want.
post a fix if you find one.

not having this problem.
Are you guys using "Albums"?
pictures or events will go by date

albums will be by folder A-Z and in each photo it will be by date

you use whatapp? If you receive a pic from a group or person is going to appear in the camera roll when you open the stock samsung camera.

No dont use it. But i use other apps and there photos either go into a folder download or its labelt with the apps name.

So it could be a problem with whatsapp downloading into the dcim folder.

Oh ok i think i get what your saying.

You go to gallery and its in WA alone with your camera folder download etc...

But when you open the camera app and scroll through the pictures. You see all your folders mix in by date?

VS only whata in the camera folder?

Yea i just tested that out.
I dont remember it doing that on the s7 edge.
It probably has to do with the new camera app.
If enough peopke submit it to samsung via online chat or calling then. They will end up fixing it.

Simply tell then its a Security risk.

I remember they updated the s7 edge. Befor you could doble tap to open camera. Take a picture then view the other pictures in the camera phot.
When they updated it it has a lock screen and wont let you view the other photos until you unlock the phone.

Is gallery part of Samsung software or is it part of Android?

gallery is android but the camera app is sumsung.
And the problem is the way they are talking to each other.

but both app start from the basic android code so its possible they coded the gallery different, but most of the time the gallery remands the same and the camera app is the only one that gets change.

I remember pull camera app from different phones long ago.

When you open gallery, it defaults to show all pics together, from all different folders, sorted by date. Now, inside gallery you can choose albums tab, that shows it properly in folders, but when camera access gallery, you dont get album option anymore and it's a mess. It's gallery issue, I don't like the way it works now, but I guess I would have to be rooted to install older version? And we don't have root yet, SUCKS.
