Cannot find saved pictures on Tab M8 HD

I recently bought the Tab M8 HD and the only problem I'm having with it is that I cannot find saved photos. I saved a couple of pictures that I used in Kijiji and Facebook and I get the message that it's saved but it's no where to be found. The only "gallery" I have on this tablet is the one it came with and that's Google Photos.

 

I can take pictures and find them easily but I have no idea where saved pictures go to. Can anyone help me out?

Welcome to the Community Forums @Minty_Fresh !

 

Glad to have you here!

 

There should be a library section in Google Photos that will allow you to search/look for the pictures that are categorized or separated through Albums.

 

Also, screenshots are stored in your device's internal storage which can be accessed by following methods:

  • Go to Photos (or Gallery)
  • Go to Files

Those steps are seen on your device's User Guide which can be seen here.

 

Thanks

Re:Cannot find saved pictures on Tab M8 HD

Thank you for the reply. 

 

Where can I find Photos of even Files? I'm used to Samsung tablets which are much more straight forward than this one. I've never had these issues before with a Samsung. 

 

I've even tried downloading a different gallery app and still nothing shows up.

 

Edit: I think I figured it out. I found them when I went into my storage. So far, they have been showing up in a gallery app I downloaded. :)

Glad you figured everything out, but in the future simply use a Solid Explorer. The best file manager for Android. Second best is FX. Others are garbage, Google Files is a complete and total trash.

Thanks for the suggestion. 🙂 I strongly agree that Google Files is horrible. When I went into my storage and then into Files, it asked me if I wanted to open with Google Files or just Files. I chose the latter and that's how I found them.

Re:Cannot find saved pictures on Tab M8 HD

Same here I have a problem with my pictures going to goggle pictures I have just buy Lenovo m10 FHD plus and the only option I can find is google pictures if disabled is no way I can have access to my pictures or screen shots why is it not coming with its own app like is annoying to forcefully have to use Google pictures I have never liked to use Google for my pictures  it's a lots of junk pictures going to google that should be a option for every individual to choose rather to store them pictures on certain app or not it called PRIVACY at all the phones and tablets I had didn't have to go thru specific app for my pictures always have they're own gallery and so the option to sink your pictures if that's the case I want to back up them pictures also to choose wish ones to store.

I am very dissatisfied with this tablet .

At least if is a solution for it I would keep it if not than I would have to return it and choose another brand.
