Question about Samsung gallery

[Tororo]

I'm currently organizing my gallery, and I noticed the auto-updating albums. I was wondering-- do the pictures automatically get transferred from camera to album? Or do they just duplicate the picture into the album.

Do you mean the "Recent" album? The Recent isn't really an album. It just shows pictures which are identified by an algorithm. They are not duplicate and do not take up extra space.

If you delete something from
Recent, it is deleted from the album where it really exists and deleted from your phone.

No I'm talking about when you can make an auto-updating album. Do the photos automatically transfer from the camera album to the auto-updating albums, or do they make duplicates?

I think those are virtual albums. Swipe up on a photo in one of those albums. Underneath the photo, it will show you the location where the photo is stored. I'll bet it shows the Camera album.
