Downloaded apps cache images into gallery 😠

[lordy5]

Hello, recently swapped to android from iPhone. Got a massive issue and I can't find out how to solve it. Every time I open the Formula 1 ( + others ) app, it saves EVERY photo within the app into my gallery, tried deleting the photos, but they come back the next time I open the app and it really annoys me. So much so I might go back to Apple.

Included screenshots, one of which has 350 photos in, all from the app...

Sounds like it's a problem for the developer of that app. You should email them through the play store to report it and until it gets fixed, just hide those albums rather than deleting them.

If you have a file explorer app such as ES File Explorer check your local folders for the cached images ( probably will be android/data/ ). Wherever they are being cached, your Gallery is reading them and putting them into albums. Just put a ".nomedia" file in the folder where they are cached and the Gallery will ignore them afterwards.
