Hide Images in Gallery App Yet Enjoy Slide Show However, the story with Android in the context of hiding is not so straight forward. X-plore had a decent smooth photo viewer and the folders could re-named starting with dot to avoid Symbian to easily find the directories. In Nokia Symbian OS, I used an app named X-plore (it is a file manager app) by Lonely Cat Games. We are not describing “how to hide illegal things”. The method we have described is for hiding completely legal stuff on your device rescuing from annoyance. Fortunately, the fix avoiding any secure folder app is not quite difficult, at least for the users who knows how a create a file on Android device. Most of the users want a fix and continue enjoying album art, erotic photos etc as well as enjoying the Gallery app. Apart from erotic photos appearing in the gallery, a potential disturbance is the appearance of album art and WhatsApp images in the Gallery. However, Android is designed to scan the whole device and show thumbnails in the gallery. We are used using the Gallery app to view the images captured by a camera and some of the downloaded images. A photoset set of a naked lady beside the thumbnails of grandmother looks is not great showbiz anywhere on this earth.

When undesired thumbnails from various folders appear in the (Samsung) Gallery App, it irritates us and breaches our privacy.
