Cannot view camera photos?

[Android Central Question]

When I click on a photo in my gallery that has been taken with the camera it opens for a second then closes and takes me back to the albums?

It let's me view photos taken on WhatsApp and Snapchat just not photos taken with the camera.

Can anyone help resolve?

Thanks in advance

Sorry should have said it's a Huawei p20 pro.

If I click the gallery app and try and open a photo taken on the camera it opens for a second then closes it.

Welcome to Android Central! Go to Settings>Apps, select Gallery, then clear its cache and data. Don't worry, this won't delete any of your actual photos. Then open Gallery again and give it a few seconds for the database to rebuild. Does the same thing still happen?

Thank you- this worked

I had tried to clear the cache but hadn't cleared the data as I thought my photos would be deleted.

Thanks again
