Two photo apps on my phone can I delete 1

[sebb123]

Hi I have almost used up all my phones memory but I have two photo apps on my phone with duplicate photos in each.  One is called 'photos' and the other is 'gallery' as these are both Samsung apps will I be able to delete one and which is the best app to delete. I do not want to accidentally delete all my photo's. Not sure why I have both apps? thanks

It's time to clear out apps you rarely use.

Go to settings, apps, individual go through each app and clear cache in the storage section in each app.

If you have a computer it is also time to move photos off your phone.

Now a days 128gb of storage is no longer enough.

Download 1 tap cleaner from app store google.i swear it is the best cache cleaner .it's really does free up ur cache from apps.not like these other junk apps.

BTW, both Google Photos and Samsung Gallery are just photo viewers that access your DCMI (photos) folders on your phone.

What are actual Camera apps, n best to use? This could explain when I do edits on photos they don't look the same when I save n then either forward to social media or print. - Lisa

So all photos go to the DCMI photos folder on my phone? 1) how to increase that folder size? 2) should I just save all photos directly to that folder? 3) what about saving to clouds from DCMI photos folders? - Lisa

U can't change the size of the folder ? A folder is just a place where the pics go to within the file system the folder size will grow as u add more files.but u can't make the folder bigger
