Hide or Unhide Gallery Albums auf Samsung
New albums in your Gallery usually come from apps, not from you. Messaging tools, social media, screen recorders, and browser downloads each create their own folder the moment they save media, and Samsung Gallery displays every one of these by default.
The hiding function does not delete or move anything. It only removes the album tile from the main Albums view while keeping the files in their original storage location. That means hidden content still counts toward your device storage and still appears in apps like Google Photos if those apps scan the full media library.
To hide or unhide an album, open Gallery and go to Albums. Open the Menu, then tap Hide or unhide albums. From the list, turn the switch On or Off next to any album to hide or unhide it, then confirm to apply the change.
If you want to hide single photos instead of whole albums, use the Gallery's own move-to-private option on individual items rather than this album-level switch. If an album keeps reappearing after you hide it, the source app is likely still generating new files inside it, which recreates the folder on the next capture.
