I accidentally encrypted photos on my phone. How do I retrieve?

[AC Question]

I have a BLU VIVO XL, Android 5.1 device. I accidentally hit the encrypt button while browsing through some photos and I don't know how to retrieve them. I can't find anywhere under the settings or storage where I can find where they are located.

Thanks.

They're in your Internal sotrage? However, I don't know how you're gonna be accessing them if you've encrypted the files. You can try.

"To access the encrypted photo, you have to "pinch outward" in the app."

What does that even mean? What app?

Very confused at this point. Not sure exactly what's going on...

It is very easy to accidentally encrypt photos on my device, I was wondering how to decrypt them, since it isn't very clear how to do so..
