Smart Samsung Gallery tips

Enable Samsung Gallery Labs:

Gallery Lab is a hidden menu and can be enabled in similar style ad developer options. It has some experimental features in Samsung Gallery.

  • Open Samsung Gallery.
  • Tap the 3-dot menu button in the bottom-right corner.
  • Tap Settings.
  • Scroll down and head over to About Gallery.
  • Repeatedly tap the Gallery version (the numbers, not the word “Gallery”) 7-8 times.
    • You should see a toast notification saying that Gallery Labs has been enabled.
  • Go back to Gallery settings.
  • Scroll to the bottom of the list where you should see the Gallery Labs option.

Move photos to Secure Folder:

Samsung Secure Folder keeps your private photos, videos, files, apps and data safe. The service also allows you to add a passcode or biometric lock to protect your data from prying eyes.

  • Select the photos, videos, or albums that you want to move to Secure Folder.
  • Tap the More button in the bottom navigation drawer.
  • Select the Move to Secure folder option.

If you are using it for the first time, you will have to set up a Secure Folder by granting it the necessary permissions and entering a password/pattern/PIN lock.

Give Object Eraser a shot:

With One UI 4.1 Object Eraser, users can now easily remove not only background disturbances but also shadows in the subject or reflections in the picture.
