You can put a .nomedia file in the folders you don't want to see in the gallery, as this article shows:

Thank you for the link, but it is not working!
In the camera app, the bottom right button will show the last image or video saved to the gallery. On the S6 Edge (and I think on Marshmallow), that button in the camera app used to show the pics taken by camera only. Is there a way now to do the same?
Thanks

I have the same problem, and I haven't found a solution yet
Use Google photos instead of "gallery".
But "gallery" will still be default app in the camera app.
The problem is with the camera app, not the gallery by itself. I think the camera app is linked to the wrong folder.
Well, today I talked with Samsung support and they told me to restore to factory settings, which I won't do because it came like this (I bought it 5 days ago).
This is too annoying, and I think we will have to live with it, because Samsung doesn't know how to fix it and doesn't seems to care about it neither.
In Gallery, choose Albums instead of Pictures. From there if you select Camera, then only your camera pics will display.

The problem isn't the gallery, is the camera app. When you check a photo that you just take (with the icon in the bottom right corner of the camera) and then you start looking the previous pictures, it'll be mixed with whatsapp, downloads and any other image you have in your phone, which doesn't make any sense.
The gallery by itself is ok.

No. it's the gallery app.
I'll explain. The camera app simply takes you to the Gallery app in an in-app shortcut.
You can get the same "bug" if you open the Gallery from your app drawer and go to "pictures " tab which will feature all the pictures on your device, including whatsapp or downloaded media.
So the Camera app simply takes you to the Gallery but to the wrong tab.
I disabled the Gallery app entirety and so the shortcut does not work for me - hitting it does nothing. If I want to see pictures taken with the camera while ignkring other media files i simply use Google Photos.
Why Google Photos specifically? It has the ability to create a link to Google Photos inside of Camera app.

Well, that's why I think it's a camera problem, it has the wrong shortcut.
But anyways, how did you disable the gallery? When I try the button is greyed and I can't do it. I'm using Google photos as a default viewer, but doesn't work within the camera. Do you have to root the phone?
Edited: I just found how to do it in the Google photo settings.

Nah no root required.
Use BK package disabler. You can disable any app including system apps with it. It uses Knox to have root like capabilities.
Thanks, I'll try with bk package disabler.
Any Update on this issue?
Did Samsung solve this issue yet? it is super annoying to see all photos from the camera roll viewer in camera app. Why should I see screenshots I've taken or a stupid Whatsapp pic sent by someone, when I'm viewing photos taken by camera, from the camera app?

So I am having huge problems with the gallery app of my new Galaxy S4. Whenever I start the gallery app, I see only see the action bar and a black screen and it takes up to 5 seconds until I see the folders with the pictures and when I click on an album, it might take more than one minute to show me the contents, which usually is just a black picture. So not even really the contents.
I tried deleting the gallery data, but It is always the same after I fire up the app. Either something is broken with my phone or the gallery app. I have the MDM Firmware (rooted).
Okay disabled dropbox integration in gallery and now everything works fine, but still very annoying to find out whats wrong

Same issue with mine.
Definite bug with the gallery. Hope Sammy fixes this soon
same here !!!!
I am very upset first the "smearing" then.... the "gallery bug"
Not sure if this is the right place to ask or maybe move it to the apps section if need be. Ever since I got the updated Gallery app through August update all my pictures seem to be imported automatically to it, what exactly do I mean by this? Whenever I launch the Camera app and scroll through my pictures through the app it shows all recent pictures on my phone, before the update it would only show pictures/videos taken through the camera app, I would like to keep it that way but haven't managed to revert it, any clues?
Wish I could answer, just installed the update and it's a disaster, what were they thinking, tiny thumbnails and you can't read the album names! Dark grey font on a black background... DOH
Sent from my S7 Edge
If you pinch out on the album view it will give you near enough the same view as before, only problem I have, as already stated, is the black text on dark grey background, although that's probably the themes fault.

So no one else lost the feature of scrolling through the in-app camera gallery and just having content taken with the camera? cause I really hate having to go through all my stuff there to find a picture I took.

No mine still works fine, although if I'm using the camera from the lock screen it will only let me scroll through the pictures I've just taken, not previous ones.

I wonder how I messed it all up lol. I just tried that way, running the app from the lockscreen and I still get every single picture on my phone.
Any Luck?
I am facing exactly the same issue.
All my screenshots, whatsapp, gallery pics and everything are populated in the gallery when I access through camera. This is highly annoying.
Earlier it was only camera pictures which were shown, is there anyway to fix this? Like installing the previous version or changing the access folder only to camera?

I found no solution, had to just deal with it. And I tried to somehow set the app to only access the Camera pictures when browsing through the camera app but no such luck.
Is this issue without any resolution yet? I know this have been posted a few months ago, I've searched everywhere but I didn't find any solution, did anyone else get some more luck than me?
Samsung Camera is showing every picture I have in my device inside the thumbnail in the bottom. When I open it I can view every image like Whatsapp's, screenshots, etc.
I want to make Camera app to show only pictures I've took with the app. I know I can add ".nomedia" file to the folders I don't want to be shown, however I DO want them to be shown, but inside Gallery, not Camera.
Nobody?

Hi guys,
friend of mine got a Mi a1 but noticed a problem on Messenger. Ususally when you go in the picture settings folder in the settings menu there should be an option on top to auto save received pics.
But the option seems missing. Only the option to auto save taken pics shows. Had several updates of the app already and even installed the beta version but the option is never showing up. App permissions for storage and camera are granted. Anybody facing the same issue? Never experienced that on another phone before.
Best regards
This ?

Yep, the top option isn't there in my friends phone. Maybe better to contact facebook then since it isn't a device specific problem
Do you have an additional gallery installed? Or just use the google photos app?

No additional gallery, and no permissions granted, maybe there is some setting in facebook related to this

Hi. I have had this issue for a long time and wondered if it was the same for everyone. Ok I have a s8 and this is my issue. I open Facebook. Scroll through and if I want to comment on a post say a car page with a pic I click the camera icon and it takes me to the Camera Album and not give me the option of selecting a specific album. I know Instagram gives you this option and is also owned by Facebook so not sure why it would be an app issue. I have tried to reinstall it but still the same. It will show the albums but you have to scroll through all the camera album and takes for ages. Hope someone can help. Thanks.
