Now that Samsung in their INFINITE wisdom has taken out the menu button. Can someone confirm to me how to delete photos directly from Gallery? No.. not from File Manager or 3rd party software. Just the standard Gallery App that came default. If I wanted to go through my pictures and delete certain ones, then how? I can hold down on some pics and tag/select. There is a SHARE button on there but nothing else. No editing, No rotate option, no print, no move options. NOTHING.
REALLY unhappy about this.
Please help..
When you tap and hold on the picture, above it shows three options SHARE, DELETE, MORE.
Also if you just tap and open the picture, on the bottom it shows more options as well.
This did not work. The only option I have is to share-not to delete. Very frustrating. Anybody know how??
What changes have you made to your phone. I never use the regular gallery but it is easy to use

What have you done to your phone since getting it? ROOT? Custom ROM? IF neither i'd factory reset as all those options are available on a normal S6. You can press delete on the little icon on the bottom of the picture or you can hold down on a pic and the delete option comes up.

Simply change the category top left from categories to anything else and your issue will be resolved. Not sure why delete is not an option when you are on categories.
Same problem here!!
And you press on Help, it says to tap on "delete" even though they should no there's no Delete!!! Only Favorite, Share and Editor....Very frustrating!
Do this
Close gallery then Access gallery from camera. Select camera. Then tap bottom right icon. Select album. Or gallery I think. All photos there with delete option
Deleting from Samsung Galaxy S6
Go to Gallery
In the top left hand corner it gives you options to change your gallery display to time, albums, events or categories
Tap Time
Then tap the image you want to delete
then tap the screen
there should be 4 icons on the bottom the fourth one should be delete.
Thanks! Changing from "Categories" to "Time" allowed me to delete the photos. When I was under "Categories", the delete option would not appear.

Go to setting. Application manager gallery clear cache force stop. It should go back to being able to delete photos.
Go to settings , storage, used space then select pictures and videos. Make sure you open with photos as you get all images. Have fun deleting
This really worked for me! I changed the Category to like ALBUMS and I was able to delete an image, Yay!!Thank you!

Click on the album where your pics are located. Click more then click edit. Select the pics or all photos then click delete. I just did it 3 times. It works.

can you share me the method how to quick find the one?
I'm probably missing something dumb, because this seems like a basic thing, and I'm not finding it when searching on Google or XDA.
In CM 11, I could long press on a picture in the messaging application, and get an option to save or export to SD card/internal storage. On CM 12 messaging, I do not get any menu when long pressing.
When I click on a picture it opens in the gallery app, where I have an option to set as wallpaper or print, but still no option to save to SD/internal storage.
If MMS come in as a gallery, I can save those. But I can't figure it out for an individual image.

I'm wondering the same thing to
I use hangouts app do you use the native messaging app or hangouts?
theres no option to share?
try clearing .nomedia files from wherever and recycle the media engine through a reboot.
do you use quickpic? as a gallery app? ,thats how I got rid of all my problems sometimes the stock gallery app doesnt see the new images.

When hangouts first started to allow SMS integration, I didn't like the way it handled it, but they have changed the interface quite a bit. It does let me download messages, so I'll try it for a bit.
With Quickpic and the CM Messaging App I still don't get an option to save the files. When I click on a picture, it lets me open it in quickpic or any other registered image viewer, but they don't have download options, just 'set as. for wallpaper.'
Ideally I like the CM messaging app, and would like to use it. But too many family members can't be convinced to email me pictures at a higher quality, and instead want to send via MMS.
bump again.
I've been using hangouts, but I miss like the CM Messanger app better.
Thread necro because is three months later, and I still have to switch to hangouts in order to save the pictures people send via MMS.

Same problem for me. I don't think there's a way to do it, but if there is, I haven't found it. Been switching to Hangouts just to save as well, pain in the butt because CM is much better looking and smoother. Plus no resize issues without Xposed.
I just started taking screen shots as mms pics are low quality anyways, just a little hack you guys might want to try. Quicker than moving to hangouts.
Long press the text area of the picture message

I found the answer in a reddit thread > Can't save MMS pictures - CM12
"Long press in the text area of the photo. > three dots upper right hand corner. > save attachments. "
counterintuitive really.... but that's the way it seems to work
the attachment then appears in the usual "Download" folder
Thanx for that! Not exactly like that but I found it helpfull so: long press in the text area of the photo>three dots upper right hand corner>message details>tap on image>save.

All you need to do after tapping the three dots is tap save attachment. You are adding three extra steps doing it the way you say here.

Doesn't work for me. I long press on the text area of the photo, click the three dots, and my options are: Lock; Message Details; Select All. Any advice?
Like the OP, I can't convince my family members to email pictures. So I'd really like a working option for saving pictures in Messaging.
EDIT: This worked: Long press the area to the right or left of the picture>touch the 3 dots in the upper right hand corner ( not the menu button at the bottom, each has different options)>touch message details.

Thanks! This worked for me, also. I just use Messaging+ to save them, but like the default Messages more. Have been looking for days...
This is exactly how mined worked. Others didn't.
This post is kind of old but anyways I think this will be helpful for some people:
1. Keep pressed over the subject of the MMS and the options will appear.
2. Go to the options (three dots) and select "Message Details".
3. Select the picture you want to save.
4. Click "Save" and it will be saved into your "Downloads" folder.
You are welcome.

But I dont know how to move a photo in the Gallery from one album to a different album in android 7. When I long press the photo, there is no option to copy or move. When I click the 3 vertical dots, there is a move option, then it asks me to select which album I want to move. I dont want to move an album, I want to move a photo. I have the V20...
Can anyone let me know what i'm doing wrong? This should be so simple.

On LG, its called File Manager... and is that the only way? i mean, you used to be able to simply do it from the Gallery without having to open any alternative apps. This is my first LG, I've always used the gallery to moved photos with Samsung Note 2-7.
Which device are you using, there are so many, file/pic manager apps out there, Aviary is my personal favorite. You should give them a try.

I have a Samsung too
Hey guys,
Since a couple of days I've start to notice this little 'problem' on my Samsung Galaxy S7 (Android 7.0). For some reason the camera roll is showing ALL my images (and videos) instead of just the pictures that I have taken with my phone. So, WhatsApp images/videos, screenshots, downloaded images, it's all there.
Now, I've read alot about the .nomedia 'solution' to hide/excluse certain albums from showing up in the Gallery, but I don't want that. I like my WhatsApp images/videos etc. being shown in the Gallery application, I just don't want to see them in/on my camera roll.
So, the Gallery application is working just fine, and everything is stored in (pre-located) albums ('Camera', 'Screenshots', 'Twitter' etc.). I've looked at the settings in the Gallery app, but couldn't find anything relevant that would likely be causing this problem. Same goes for the Camera application.
What can be relevant is that I am storing the pictures taken by the Camera on a SD-card.
So, I was wondering if someone could help me. Is this problem related to Nougat? My phone isn't rooted, by the way.
Many thanks in advance! ?
Same problem here... Really annoying
What do you mean by "Camera Roll"?
If you open the "Album" section of the gallery, are you saying ALL images are showing up in the "Camera" album folder? Rather than their individual folders?
Obviously if you choose the "Pictures" tab, it will show all images on the device on the same screen
The "Albums" tab should be showing them in individual folders though

With "Camera Roll" I mean the pictures that can be accessed through the Camera App - when you open the Camera App it's the circular icon placed on the bottom right of the screen (right next to the shutter/camera button).

The camera roll accessed from the camera app just opens the "Pictures" tab of the gallery app, which contains every image on the phone that does not contain a .nomedia file in it's folder
Samsung would have to patch the camera app to open just the "Camera" album folder I assume
But generally you would only use that button in the camera app to view the last few shots you just took, if you want to view a specific folder, open the gallery Albums tab

Thanks for all the help and responses, guys! I guess I'll just have to get used to it. Maybe Samsung will patch this in the future. Who knows.
That's a pretty dumb reply, to be honest. It's a camera app. Why would you want to review every downloaded or received image through the camera app? Sure, why don't I just jump off a bridge if I don't like it? It's a ****ty function and I can't blame people for asking if there's a fix. You can keep your "eat it or die" answers to yourself if you don't fancy being helpful.
I guess the question is:
why is the gallery opened when one opens the camera in whatsapp seeing that line of pictures is very irritating.(S5 mini)
Any solution?
This is killing me. Such a silly system by Samsung.

If you don't want your WhatsApp (or any other App for that matter) images to be shown between the rest of your Gallery images, you have to install and use a File Manager, navigate to the WhatsApp images folder and 'hide' this folder. Normally you can also hide a folder by creating a new file in that folder named ' .nomedia' like noted by Detection. The WhatsApp images folder is normally located at: 'Internal Storage' (or sdcard) > 'WhatsApp' > 'Media' > 'WhatsApp Images'. This way the gallery won't show your WhatsApp images anymore but WhatsApp will still show his own images. I hope I am correct with this info and this helps some of you.
Hi guys,
I asked to add this option (open last media in camera folder when gallery is called from camera app) in this camera mod app. Maybe you could increase the importance/priority of the request showing your interest on this feature in the mod post.
I'm trying the @martin.delbi method: should be a good workaround, but you should do it for all the folders with media you have in your storage/sd without .nomedia file that you do not want to show in Gallery.
I've tried this solution and realized it's not what I actually want since other apps don't even see those folders too. How do I undo it? I've deleted the .nomedia files I created and I still can't see the album. Thanks

I totally agree. It's ridiculous that every photo or media file is right there after you take a picture, if you downloaded something or if someone sent you something in a text or you have something risque in a totally different directory on an SD card and it's dated just before that photo, BOOM! It's right there for your mom to see next to the family pics.
Can you change the default viewer that gets activated from the camera app?
Is there another camera app that does not have this problem?
The "camera roll" or the the icon from the camera app should ONLY show recent pictures in the DCIM/camera directory. PERIOD.

You can go into Gallery, go to Albums Tab, touch the three dots, there's a Hide or Unhide Albums. You can hide most albums, except for a few including Camera, Screenshots, Downloads, and Pictures (at least on my phone). The newest picture still seems to come up in the camera circle preview pane, and shows up for a second when you click the gallery circle from the camera app, but if it's in a hidden directory disappears. If you latest media file is in the camera directory, you don't have this problem.
If I take a screenshot using the power button I get the normal popup that the screenshot has been saved and the option to edit/share/highlight it. However, if the popup is dismissed, how do I get back to it? The only way I found was by going into Photos, all folders, go into the screenshots folder and proceed from there. Is there any shortcut to get into the screenshot editing app? Or is there another gallery app that I'm missing?
Hello,
Only Google photo until you install another app.
When dismissed, you're right, Google photo.
