Search Gallery by Date since 7.0 update

[TylerShobe]

Seems like you are not longer able to search the Gallery app by date anymore. Anyone found a work around or know of a better way to accomplish this?

Try this. Clicking the Magnifying class in upper right to search. In the search bar, type January 2025.

See, I do that and it used to work like that perfectly but since the latest Samsung Android update, it doesn't. For instance I know I have many pictures from December 2024 yet when I put that in, I only get 1 result for a picture with the words December 2024 in the screenshot.

Yeah it's not perfect. But the Pictures Tab is in date order so you can easily scroll to the date you want. Start scrolling the screen. Grab the scroll bar which appears on the right side of the screen. Drag it to the date you want.

Hi I'm not able to grab the scroll bar. The scroll scrubber seems to have gone after one ui7 update

@harryarchere Scroll bar still appears for me when you start scrolling. I can grab the scroll bar and rapidly scroll through the items.

Any recommendations for how to fix the issue? Tried clearing the app cache but didn't help. I want to re-install the app but play store says the app is no longer compatible so don't want to uninstall for fear of not being able to find it again on play store.

Thats not really a solution though. If I want to find all pictures of my birthday throughout the years, I dont want to manually scroll to 2024, then 2023, then 2022 onwards. I just want them all in one place.

[LongHiker]

Understand. You can always add them to an album or favorite them to make them easier to find in the future.

Beg to differ.

Seems pictures are grouped by month and not sorted by date, as they were in previous ui
