What Is The Difference Between A Photo Gallery App Opening Photos Or Your Browswe App

Use the Gallery app on your Galaxy phone

Friends looking at photos on phone outside

Leave that bulky photo album at home. Instead, use your phone to relive all those precious memories. With the Gallery app, you can view, edit, and manage your pictures and albums right on your phone.

Note: Available screens and settings may vary by wireless service provider, software version, and phone model.

If you spent an hour trying to take that perfect selfie, you can look back at your hard work by viewing it in Gallery.

Navigate to and open Gallery, and then tap the Pictures tab. Tap the thumbnail of the photo or video you want to view.
To search for a specific picture, tap the Search icon in the upper right corner. You may search for a picture by its tag, album name, or other details.
On newer phones, there is an option to group similar-looking pictures together. When this happens, not all of your images will appear in the Picture tab; instead, you'll see a small number (i.e., 2, 3, or so on) in the corner of some image thumbnails. Tap the thumbnail to view the images that have been grouped together.
If you do not wish to use this feature and would like all your pictures to display, simply tap the Group similar images icon at the top of the screen (it looks like a square).

You don't need a degree in graphic design to enhance your photos. Edit them right on your phone.

From Gallery, tap the thumbnail of a photo or video you want to edit.
Tap Edit (the pencil icon), and then use the available tools to adjust the picture.
To undo or redo edits, tap the Undo or Redo icon. Tap Revert to undo all your edits.
To save edits, tap Back, and then tap Save in the pop-up window.
