iPhone guy wondering how you guys manage your gallery!
Bit of back story, I started with Android (2010-2014) but have used iPhone since. I have an Android phone (Galaxy S10) I use for some things. My wife is an Android user since 2010 but is not very technical. Right to my question: how do you manage your images/gallery on Android? I know that the Android OS defaults to sorting by folder. I used to use QuickPic; my current gallery of choice is Google Gallery, for its simplicity (and being free). So you have your camera pics, your saved images, images from various apps tend to be in folders for those apps. Is that organisation good enough for you? Or do you do more? Jumping over to the Apple side, every image, saved or taken with the camera, goes into the “Camera Roll” gallery. It’s all one monolithic thing. You can create albums within it, but unless you did that from the start, it’s a monolithic task. Fortunately I found an app that makes it easy. It shows me an image, I tap the album I want to put it in. After a few hours, I had it sorted. Now I have a wallpaper album, an album of pictures of my wife, an album for holidays, an album for friends, one for cars, one for food… and so on. Every week or so I go back to this app to get the unsorted ones. Yesterday I was looking at my wife’s phone, and something bothered me. It occurred to me that, she’s had this phone for 3 years and has never changed the lock screen. She said she tried to do it once and couldn’t figure it out, so she left it alone. (It’s a Galaxy S22, if you’re curious.) I had a minute, so I dived in. Found it pretty quick. Asked her what she wanted. She said there was a wallpaper from this anime I sent her once… This is when I found an issue with Android’s image organisation. It was hard to navigate and completely unsorted. (Likely, partially user error, which is why I’m asking here!) I solved the problem by going to my iPhone, going into my wallpaper album, finding the wallpaper in question, sending it over to her, and then picking it as the most recent image. I got the clock set up with her favourite colour, and now she’s super happy with her lock screen. It’s no longer “just there,” now it reflects its owner better. Win/win. (Of course, if you looked at my S10, you’d never know it was managed by an “Apple guy.” Nova Prime, everything customised to specification… honestly still an awesome phone, and does a few things better than my five-years-newer 16 Pro Max.) So, TL;DR: are you happy with the folder-based (source-based) gallery system in Android? If so, how do you make it work for you? How can a user with something like 2500 saved images best make it work for them?
Phone loses signal with Android Auto
When I’m using Android Auto, my phone will intermittently lose cell signal. It doesn’t happen all the time. Sometimes I’ll go weeks or months without it happening, then other times it will happen several times in a single trip. There have been a couple times when the phone seemed to be acting up before it completely lost the signal. The only way to recover is to restart the phone. It has never happened when not using Android Auto. It happens in my current car, a 2022 Honda Ridgeline with wired android auto support. I recently bought a wireless adapter for the car, and it happens with that as well. It also happens when my phone is plugged into our 2020 Honda Civic. It happened with my previous phones when I was using Android Auto in my 2011 Honda Ridgeline which only had an aftermarket Bluetooth adapter. Current phone is a Samsung Galaxy S10. Previous phone was an LG Nexus 5x. It seems that the only common issue is Android Auto. Has anyone else experienced this?
How do i stop the android system from using all my free space?
Hours ago i freed up ~600 mb of space. It is now gone and i have downloaded less than 10mb of items. Android ate all the remaining space and now will not stop nagging me to delete my files. Android should delete whatever it decided to do that ate up 500+mb. It happens all the goddamn time. I feel violated by the operating system.

Web Extension To Download Images; Firefox/Ironfox
Hello, Are there any recommendations for web extensions to download images from pages you’re visiting? I don’t normally use an extension; instead filtering through by using the Dev Tools, but these aren’t available on mobile iirc? Thank you for your time and I really appreciate any suggestions or direction you may be able to provide! Have a great New Year!
