Android Central Question

Hey guys. I'm really curiosu and paranoid. As the title says, can strangers acccess our gallery or can our phone/gallery be hacked? I know i'm paranoid i just want to be safe. I have privacy stuffs on my phone and i just don't want my privacy such as passwords and etc to be reveal or what so ever. Is my gallery accessible to anyone? I do not sync any thing to my gallery. Just afraid strangers might secretly go and access my phone and retrieve my private stuffs LOL
 
Files on your phone (internal storage and SD card) are accessable to only users holding the phone, or services that sync files to the cloud, or malware that uploads your files to elsewhere. If you encrypt the phone, only people who know your passcode will be able to see its contents.

You pick which sync services you are using and usually which files are synced.

For files you sync to the internet, you pick which ones can be seen by others and which people can see them.

Note: "gallery" is not a location, it is a picture viewing app. The location of the image files does not matter.
