Samsung Gallery: Image and Video Viewer

Samsung Gallery is a photography app by Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. that lets you view, organize, and sync images and videos on Galaxy devices. It is designed as the default media hub for Samsung smartphones, offering a fast and familiar way to browse your camera roll and albums.

Beyond basic viewing, the app ties into the Samsung ecosystem with cloud sync. When you sign into the same Samsung account on multiple devices, your pictures and videos become accessible anywhere the app is installed. An enhanced security layer also helps keep sensitive content protected within a secure space.

The experience is tailored for everyday Galaxy users who want a seamless link between their phone, tablet, and cloud storage. Recent updates have refined the interface with gesture shortcuts, such as swiping up for details or long-pressing the icon for quick search. Note that story sharing has been discontinued, though local stories remain untouched.

What's New · 15.7.02.0

This update removes shared stories due to the termination of the Story sharing service, while unshared stories remain intact. It also adds story cover image editing, a swipe-up detail view, and the ability to open the Search menu by touching and holding the app icon.

This app is for Samsung Galaxy owners who want a tightly integrated, cloud-connected gallery for everyday photo and video management.

Enable Samsung Cloud sync in the settings to keep your library backed up and available on other Galaxy devices. If you don’t use Samsung Cloud, you can disable optional permissions like Contacts and Location to limit data access.
