Choose the order
An option that not all smartphones have, but that if we have benefited from EMUI for several generations, is the one that allows us to modify the order of the albums. To do this, you just have to enter it, touch on Albums and click on the three points. Finally, we will have to click on the option called Sort albums. We can drag an album to the position that we like the most. In case we want them to be ordered by default, we will have to click on Reset.
This can also be extended to the images within each of the folders with options that go through the creation date, file name or the size of the images and videos. A quick and easy way to have everything under control and easy access when locating something in particular.
Lock and hide folders
The first option is to block certain photo albums generated by third-party apps and that we want them to disappear because we are not interested in them being shown in our own Gallery of our Huawei. To do this, we will have to go to the Others list and click on the one you want to anchor. In case we want to see them, we will have to go to the Files app.
However, we can hide them to keep them safer from the prying eyes of certain people. To do this, we will have to go to the Albums tab, and hold down to select those that we want hidden. To see the photos we will have to be inside Albums and click on the three dots> Hidden elements.
Organize by folders
An essential step to put the gallery of our Huawei mobile in order, is based on creating new folders to, for example, store the memories of a vacation or a date set for us. In this way, when we want to see those photographs again, we will only have to touch on the folder, without browsing through thousands of images that do not interest us.
To get this complete order in our gallery, we just have to access Gallery > Albums and click on the + icon. Later, we will have to give it a name and click on accept. Finally, it will be time to select a series of images or videos that will be located within it, something that we will do with the finger pressed on the preview of these.
Once this is done, the system will ask us if we want to copy the photos or if we only want to move them. In order not to multiply the space that these files occupy, we recommend moving them.
Eliminate everything that gets in the way
One of the most complete and useful tools that have been introduced in the customization layer of the Chinese firm is based on a trash can. An extra option that we can use without leaving the gallery of our mobile and that will help us to not only clean the memory of our smartphone, but also gain extra space to use it for other needs.
To do this, we will have to select the elements that we want to delete and click on the trash can icon> Remove. Of course, some albums that come by default cannot be deleted from the terminal. Afterwards, the images and videos will be temporarily moved to the folder Recently deleted, in which they will remain for 30 days.
In the event that you want to recover those deleted multimedia files, you will have to enter the Recently Deleted folder, press and hold on those items you want to recover and click on the recover option. In this way, they will return to their place of origin. In the event that the folder in which they were located has also been deleted, don’t worry, because a new one will be created, which you can edit later to change its name.
Find your photos quickly
As we said, our goal when looking for a rune image is to do it in the most effective way so as not to spend a long time looking for the image we want. For this reason, we have to know the different ways in which we can reach see the pictures within the gallery of our mobile device.
By date and time
One of the first options that we will have at our disposal will be the method of sort images and videos by its creation date and time. For this, we will have to open the Gallery. Tap on the Photos tab, and then put two fingers together on the screen to switch to the monthly view. Then separate them to access the daily view. We can also drag the slide button on the edge to see the time.
View by album
The second option that we will have on our Huawei smartphone will be view media files in Albums. And, as we already knew, some multimedia files are saved in predetermined albums. For example, videos recorded with the camera are saved in the Camera album. Screenshots and screen recordings are saved in the Screenshots album. So, to see these elements we will have to enter Gallery> Albums.
Sort by categories
Finally, EMUI’s own gallery classifies both videos and images intelligently into different categories. This will allow us to quickly filter the folders by categories. To do this, we will have to press the album of a category in the Discover tab to see the files of that specific album.
