6 things you didn't know you could do in the Samsung Gallery app

Samsung's Gallery app has more capabilities than you think, but that might not be immediately obvious. The following overlooked features in the app can help you organize albums better, increase security, create short-form content and shared albums, etc.

1. Pinch the screen to change the layout

Samsung Gallery makes it really easy to change the layout of albums and media items. You can zoom in to see more clearly or zoom out to see more content at once.

On the main page, you'll see your albums arranged in a grid with a row of three by default. Zooming in will change to rows of two and zooming out will turn into a list. Inside an album, you can view items in rows of 7, 4, or 3, or view all items at full size.

2. Move the item to Secure Folder

You can move media items or entire albums containing sensitive, private, or confidential information to Secure Folder. Here, they are further protected from potential intrusion thanks to the Samsung Knox security platform built into Galaxy devices.

Moving files to Secure Folder saves you from having to back them up to the cloud. Additionally, if someone tries to access those files using a brute force attack or reset them, all the content in the folder will be deleted to ensure they don't get their hands on your sensitive data.

To do this, simply press and hold the desired image or video, tap the three-dot menu and select Move to Secure Folder. Then, verify yourself by scanning your fingerprint or entering your lock screen password.

3. Hide albums or group them together

Some albums may contain items that you don't feel comfortable displaying. Luckily, you can hide such albums so they don't appear on the main page and reappear later.

If there are too many albums in your library, you can also group them together by theme for better organization. In fact, you can even create sub-groups within groups!

To hide an album, go to tabs Albumsclick on the three-dot menu, select Hide or unhide albumsthen tap the toggle next to the album you want to hide.

4. Edit photo and video date, time and location

If the saved date and time and the actual date and time of some media items do not match, you can edit it after shooting. Editing this information may also change the location of these items in the album if they are sorted based on creation date.

Similarly, you can also add the location where the photo was taken. Doing so allows you to track your journey and quickly find relevant photos taken on a particular trip. You can access these options by tapping the icon Info (i) in the bottom toolbar and select Edit in the next menu.

5. Add album shortcut to home screen

If you have an album that you often open, you should add a shortcut to that album on your home screen so you can quickly access it whenever needed.

For example, if you're a content creator, you'll want a shortcut to the Camera album. If you write a lot of smartphone guides, you'll want a shortcut to the Screenshots album.

To do this, open the desired album, tap the three-dot menu, select Add to Home screen and click Add on the prompt that appears.

6. Set custom cover art for the album

By default, albums use the most recent photo you clicked or downloaded as the cover photo. This is useful, but not always pretty for obvious reasons.

With Samsung Gallery, you can change the album cover photo to an image you like. This feature is similar to how you can change album art in Google Photos.

To change album art, long press on the desired album, tap the three-dot menu and select Change cover image. Then, select the desired photo from that album.
