My new galaxy a14 camera says unsupported file, if you try to open any jpg

[youSmoouche]

Just picked up a galaxy a14 5g and the camera app (when opening any photo just taken or screenshot) says, "unsupported format".

Any help would be greatly appreciatedn thanks

That's crazy never heard of that before but try changing the format of how it saves your pictures it's in the camera app that might work

Hello, welcome to the Community, and thanks for reaching out about this. I can understand the inconvenience and confusion with the Camera app not displaying the files it is taking or screenshots. First, what file type(s) are these pictures and screenshots? Checking what @MikenSam suggested would be a good start.

If that does not help, try clearing the app cache and data for the Camera app. This guide will walk you through it: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00077611/#:~:text=Open%20Settings%2C%20and%20then%20swi....

If that does not resolve the behavior, it is possibly a third-party application that is the root cause. You can find out using Safe Mode: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00062983/

If the behavior persists under Safe Mode, it may be time to try a factory reset. Follow this guide carefully, and back up everything you wish not to lose beforehand: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00062029/

If the troubleshooting is not helpful, the phone will need to be evaluated by a certified technician.
