https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S22/Why-does-my-samsung-s22-ultra-save-different-things-like-photos/m-p/2518240#M55783 <P>I think there is a bit of a misunderstanding here.&nbsp; If you transferred photos to your phone, they are in a folder, most likely DCIM/Camera. Gallery is Samsung's photo viewing app, that lets you view your photos in that and other folders. Google Photos is Android's app that does the same thing. They are two apps with similar functions. I know little about Apple and iOS, but in Windows world, this would be like choosing between Photos, Windows Photo Viewer, and any number of other programs installed for photo handling. You can play with both and see what you like better. You can also open My Files (like Windows Explorer) and go into Images and tap on a photo, and it will ask you what app you'd like to use to open it. This does not mean you have duplicate files -- just different viewers.</P><P>As to the rest of your question, yes, there are many duplicate-function apps. Gallery ang Google Photos. Samsung Internet and Chrome (or I currently use Edge). There are multiple apps for playing music and videos as well. Many of these you will not be able to remove, since Google locks its down in Android and Samsung locks its into OneUI, the Samsung front end interface for Android.&nbsp;</P> Tue, 28 Feb 2023 22:06:11 GMT requa 2023-02-28T22:06:11Z
