What are some good encrypted gallery android apps?
Currently using Stingle Photos. While it has a solid encryption its too basic in terms of gallery features. I just have basic single level folders currently and its very hard to manage the photos like that.
What are your suggestions for a good gallery app that is encryption/security oriented but also has good gallery features. Particularly nested folders, some sort or easy search function. If it has tagging it would be excellent.
I dont use sync or cloud features nor do I use GPhotos so such functionality does matter to me.
My usecase: I don’t want f.e. WhatsApp to get access to all of my photos if I give file access permission. But I still want to share some photos around.
its a feature in android now to only allow apps to access certain files
Not “certain files”, rather, “file categories”. Take a look at Storage Isolation by rikka
In newer Android versions you don’t have to give an app blanket access. You can specify certain folders (scopes, I think). You could create a share folder for WhatsApp with pictures you actually want to share
I use scopes with just about every app!
Clean Android, LineageOS 19.1 (Android 12L). Scopes do not exist 😄
That’s curious. I am pretty sure it was available on Android 12 for me. Maybe someone can confirm?
No such thing in my LineageOS ;)
