Why is my gallery app taking so much memory

[AC Question]

Im having to use my old s4 temporarily. Im getting a storage space running out message. When i look at how much memory everything is taking it shows that my gallery app is taking up 24gb. But just under 2gb of pictures and videos on the phone. How is this possible?

Hi and Welcome to AC!

Have you tried clearing the cache for all apps or just the gallery app to see if it resolves the issue?
