AI is ruining the Gallery

I am so tired of hunting thru my entire gallery for work I just created. It doesn't show up in recents or the original folders. When you edit images and save them they cannot be found. My Note20 outperforms my S23U by leaps and bounds. It's the crappie AI software. Manufacturers keep pushing this subpar software on us knowing it is not good for productivity. It's 90 per cent hype and 10 per cent functional. The gallery is a nightmare. After straightening out the gallery on my tablet I now have to do it on my phone. It's eating up my time.

 
You can not turn the software off from the gallery for tools you normally use. At least, be as smart as Apple and let your customers have the option of opting in or out. A much better approach.

Here are a few suggestions that might help improve your experience:

1. Use Samsung's Search Function: In the Gallery app, try using the search bar at the top. You can search by keywords, locations, or even the people in the photos. This can help you find images faster than scrolling through your entire gallery.


2. Create Albums: If you haven't already, consider organizing your images into specific albums for work. This can make it easier to find what you need without having to sift through everything.


3. Utilize the "My Files" App: Instead of using the Gallery app, you can try the My Files app to locate your edited images. Often, edited images might be saved in a separate folder, like “Edited” or within an app-specific folder.


4. Check Editing Apps: If you use specific editing apps (like Photoshop Express, Snapseed, etc.), check within those apps to see if they have their own folders for saved images.


5. Use Cloud Services: Consider using cloud storage services (like Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive) to back up your work-related images. This can help you manage your files better and access them from multiple devices.


6. Feedback to Samsung: Since you mentioned wanting options for the software, consider providing feedback through the Samsung Members app. User feedback can influence future updates, and it helps them understand user needs better.



If these tips don't alleviate your frustrations, it might also be worth considering a third-party gallery app that suits your needs better, as many options offer more customization and flexibility than the stock Gallery app.

All the above. The out the box experience was sweet. These horrible updates are killing my productivity.

Their AI software destroyed my file system. I'm going to offload everything to my laptop then restruct my file system. They put merging albums on default instead of optional. The album groupings of images make no sense. Plus, I have duplicates everywhere.
