I suddenly noticed that my Camera folder file count is decrementing in front of my eyes! Photos have disappeared from the folder all by themselves without my control! I do synch with Amazon and Photos, but neither is set to touch my originals... this is horrible...help!
If you are deleting your photos from either Amazon or Google Photos, that also deletes them from the original source, as they are backup apps, so it's assumed that you no longer want the photo if you are deleting the backup. Deleting photos from the gallery will only delete them from your phone, but they will remain in the backup locations of Amazon and Google. Deleting from either of the two apps will also delete from your phone. They should not be deleting themselves. Check your backup locations to make sure the missing photos are still there. If they are, you can just copy them back to your phone. If not, you or someone with access to those accounts, deleted them. You can check the trash in the gallery or my files app and if the photos are still there, you can restore them.
