Where are the photos in my gallery?

[Blake Garrett]

I have the LG Optimus F6 and for some reason when I download a photo and check my gallery its not there. Only way I can see the photo in the gallery is if I turn off my phone and turn it back on. Have this happen to anyone any advice?

Welcome to Android Central! Where are the photos downloading to? The Downloads folder?

Typically, the system's Media Scanner should constantly scan folders for new image files to display in the Gallery. It sounds like your phone isn't doing that correctly. It's possible some app is interfering--try booting into Safe Mode, which prevents all 3rd party apps from starting up initially. Then see what happens when you download an image using the browser. If it works, then start opening apps one by one, testing out the image download issue each time in between. Safe mode: LG Optimus F6 | T-Mobile Support
