Gallery: Smart photo gallery

Overview

What Gallery does

Gallery: Photos, Album & Vault is a free Android app developed by Elevate Mobile Group LLC and available on Google Play.

Gallery: Photos, Album & Vault shows every photo and video on your Android phone in one fast grid, grouped by day and month. Every folder becomes an album, smart albums sort selfies, people, documents, places, large files, and screen recordings on your phone, and Recently Deleted keeps removed photos for 30 days.

Private photos and videos move into a vault that is encrypted with AES-256 on your device and opens with a PIN or your fingerprint. A decoy PIN, an optional calculator icon, and encrypted backups to a folder or file you choose keep hidden pictures safe, even when you switch phones.

Permissions & privacy

Why Gallery asks for each permission

Your photos, videos, albums, smart album sorting, the photo editor, the duplicate finder, and the vault all work on your phone. Pictures are never uploaded to us. Vault files and their names, dates, and sizes are encrypted with AES-256 on your device.

FAQ

Gallery questions, answered

Still need help? Email support@elevatemobilegroup.com or visit support.

How do I hide photos on my Android phone?

Select photos in the gallery and tap Hide. They move into the encrypted vault and disappear from your photo library and other apps.

Can I lock my photo gallery with a fingerprint?

Yes. Once a fingerprint is added in your phone settings, you can turn on fingerprint unlock for the vault.

What happens to hidden photos if I uninstall the app?

Turn on the auto-backup folder or save a backup file first. After reinstalling, restore it with your backup password.

Can I recover deleted photos?

Yes, within 30 days. Open Recently Deleted and restore them. The vault has its own trash that also keeps items for 30 days.

I forgot my vault PIN. What now?

Use the one-time recovery code you created when you set up the vault to reset your PIN.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. Your pictures are processed on your phone and never uploaded. Gallery works offline with no account.
