I'm facing a strange issue with my phone. Photos from the stock camera are not showing up in the Google Photos.
Right after shooting a photo I'm able to see it in the camera roll of the app but if I open it the photo just go away.
What make things even more weird is that I can see the images in the DCIM/Camera folder if I navigate the internal storage in the Files app.
I'm running the latest Android P beta.

Are anyone's pictures disappearing from the gallery that is attached to the camera? If I take pictures, leave the camera app and come back the pictures are gone.
Still accessible through Google Photos though.
Hi,
short question.
If i open the camera and take photos etc. i can open the gallery from the camera app. but is it possible to only show photos from "DCIM" folder there?
I hate seeing every whatsapp image in the camera app.
thanks in advance
Create an empty file called ".nomedia" inside the whatsapp image folder. That file will prevent the images from showing up in your gallery app.
There are other galleries out there that are pretty good, and group the pictures in folders.
I use F-Stop as my default gallery... You can hide folders/albums by simply long-press > Hide . "QuickPic" is good, "A+ Gallery Photos & Video" is good, "Piktures" is also good.
I'm sure there are other really good ones too, but those are the ones I typically rotate between, and have for a few years. As mentioned, right now I like F-Stop the best. Some are free, some cost to unlock "features".
Or do as the post above me mentioned with the .nomedia in that particular folder.
After upgrade to Oreo, I noticed that Camera uses (OnePlus's) Gallery. I don't remember if it was the same before, but I want to use Google Photos instead OnePlus Gallery.
So I removed OnePlus Gallery from phone and change Default app for Gallery app to Photos.
But in Camera - after taking photo - I don't have direct access to Photos. It expected Gallery, which isn't available (that is ok ). Does Camera (in Oreo) has settings for this?
whenever I try to open a freshly taken picture from within the camera app. I can open the gallery app just fine though but I am unable to delete photos with it.
... I wiped my phone half a dozen times already and this always happens after using the phone for a while. Tried safe mode and it still didn't work. What is happening?
When I use Open Camera as my Camera and QuickPic as gallery everything works just fine. I even can delete the photos I've taken within QuickPic.
Also Google Play Music is unable to play any music that is on my SD card. It just skips the track and eventually crashes. But when I use Rocket Player everything works just fine.
This behavior started just recently, after I did a software update I guess... Bought The phone in November
Phone: Galaxy S8, SM-G950FD, UNROOTED Software version: Nougat, Phone says, I'm on the latest version. When I hit software update this is what I get: G950FXXU1AQL5 / G950FOXM1AQL5 / G950FXXU1AQL5 Gallery version: 5.3.05.301 Camera version: 7.1.10
ALMOST FORGOT: Instead of the most recent picture thumbnail next to the shutter button this appears:

Edit: lol I can't even change my wallpaper because of this stupid Gallery App...
Edit 2: Google Play Music is able to play my local sd card files again - let's see how long that lasts...
Edit 3: When launching the camera from lockscreen I can access the gallery just fine... strange things are happening here
Since moving to S8+ from other android phones, this issues was irritating me. While in camera app, if I go to gallery, I want to see only photos taken by camera and not all the media from whatsapp, facebook etc. The suggested solution of adding .nomedia in those folders did not appeal since that would impact other applications browsing those folders too. So this is what i have done and it works well enough for me.
Samsung gallery app has setting to ignore albums, so I went to that setting and checked all the albums except camera. This was manual and I had to check a lot of albums. After that was done, gallery shows only camera roll either in camera app or outside camera app.
I installed another gallery app (quickpic from xda - https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/mod-gallery-quickpic-based-4-7-4-t3790425) to browse different albums including my photos.
That seems like a good solution for non rooted phones until samsung improves their gallery app
