Why do random pictures pop up on my gallery and how can I make them stop from showing up again

[Android Central Question]

Hudreds of photos randomly show up on my phone and I don't know why

Using your favorite picture viewing app, check the album/folder that these random pictures are in to see if they belong to an app. Some apps should but do not put ".nomedia" files in their folders to prevent their files from being indexed for public viewing.
