New features in the Gallery app on Galaxy S26

Creating a private album in the Gallery app is a simple process that ensures your sensitive photos and videos are hidden from the main gallery view. Here's how to set it up:

1. Open the Gallery app, and then navigate to the Pictures or Albums tab.
2. Select the photos or videos you want to move to the private album.
3. Tap the More icon (the three vertical dots) at the bottom of the screen, then tap Move to private album, and then tap Move.
4. After moving content to the private album, it will be hidden from the main gallery and any apps that access your media.
5. To view content in the Private album, open the Gallery app again, tap the Menu (three horizontal lines), and tap Private Album. You'll be prompted to enter your security lock to access the private album.

1. Open the Gallery app, and then tap the Collections tab.
2. To add custom categories, tap Edit Collections and select your preferences to include in the Collection. Touch and hold an item, and then drag it to rearrange the list.
3. Galaxy AI scans your photo and video library to recognize media and instantly groups and organizes all images into a single, convenient location!
