Just updated my S20 and find out that the gallery is a mess. It shows a Recent folder at the top, also shows my Favorites as a separate album, and I can't hide any of them. (They don't show in the list of albums to hide in the three dots options)
If anyone knows how to hide them I would be grateful. The update also gave me a notification that two albums had been merged, but doesn't let unmerge them (they were two Camera albums one for the external memory and one for the internal one). I want them to show as different albums but apparently I need to create a new one and manually move the photos.
Honestly who even works in this updates? Who thought forcing people into things and not letting us hide the albums easily is a good idea. Apparently they want to force people to use the Secure Folder feature (which requires logging into your zamasung account so more tracking) where the Recents and Favorites albums don't show.
It's just insane, haven't been angry with an update since Win 11 forcing me into S mode
It's causing me issues as well it's making it so I can't use my Samsung phone for buisness because it pushes personal photos into a folder (recent photos) even the supposedly hidden folders have recent photos that aren't shown there so not hidden. They can't be removed from that folder as delete will remove it from all folders and move doesn't work there. What an epic failure... first time ever I'm thinking about trying an I-phone
Samsung, do NOT copy Apple on this. Remove the recents album entirely and allow for proper organization like you used to. The recents album is a terrible idea to copy. I want to move the actual image, not create some hyperlink version that all ties back to the recents album.
