Gallery: Photo and Video Gallery

Gallery is a photography app by Google LLC that organizes and displays the photos and videos stored on your device. The everyday problem it addresses is simple but persistent: as a phone fills up with pictures, finding one specific shot turns into a long scroll through a single undifferentiated camera roll. Gallery tackles this by grouping content automatically, so your library is sorted into meaningful collections rather than one endless stream. It also keeps editing light and quick through tools such as auto-enhance, which improves a picture with a single tap instead of a manual adjustment session. Because the app is built to work offline and is deliberately small, it manages and stores your media without leaning on your data plan and without taking up much room on the phone itself. Folder-based organization and support for SD cards round out the experience, letting you arrange photos your own way and move them between internal storage and a memory card. First released on 2019-07-23, the app has since accumulated a large user base and a rating of 4.24 from 648687 ratings.

Key features

• Automatic nightly organization that groups photos by People, Selfies, Nature, Animals, Documents, Videos and Movies
• Face grouping that sorts images of the same person together, though it is not currently available in every country
• One-tap auto-enhance editing that aims to make photos look their best without manual adjustments
• Folder-based organization for arranging photos in whatever structure suits you
• Viewing, copying and transferring files to and from SD cards
• Offline operation, so managing and storing photos and videos does not consume mobile data
• A small file size and reduced memory use, which leaves more room for your own media and helps avoid slowing the phone down

This release of Gallery includes bug fixes and minor improvements to enhance overall stability and performance. The update aims to provide a smoother and more reliable experience for managing and viewing your photos and videos.

This app suits anyone who keeps a growing collection of photos and videos on their phone and wants them sorted with minimal effort. It is a reasonable choice for people on limited data plans or with modest storage, since it works offline and stays small. Those who prefer to organize by folders or keep media on an SD card will find the relevant tools here, while anyone expecting a full professional editing suite should look elsewhere, as the editing side is intentionally simple.

Let the app run in the background so its nightly organization can complete and your collections stay current. If you shoot heavily, check the automatic groups occasionally and move outliers into folders you create yourself. Keep in mind that face grouping depends on your region, so a missing People group may simply reflect where you are.

Gallery is a lightweight, free way to keep a large photo and video collection in order without spending data or storage. It covers the basics well, and its automatic sorting and simple editing tools make everyday browsing noticeably easier.
