One UI 4.1 Tip: How to use Screen recorder on your Samsung phone?
Many times it happens that we are away from someone but we have to tell them the process to use some feature, change their phone’s settings or do something else. Although we can explain it by text messages or phone calls, it’s not so convenient and understandable.
Meanwhile, several OEMs including Samsung provide you the ability to record the screen of your smartphone. Like a Screenshot that captures the entire screen but a single screen at a time, a screen recorder can capture different screens, menus, and more with just a click.

No matter if you saw a funny meme, a show, any video that can’t be downloaded and shared, or you are going to play a game that you want to show off, you can record them all and share them anywhere. However, some applications such as Netflix don’t allow any device to record their shows under copyright restrictions.
It should be noted that this isn’t any new functionality and Samsung is providing it for ages. However, if you are new to Samsung or One UI 4.1, and need some input on how to use this option on your phone, feel free to refer to the summarized steps mentioned below.

What’s the Issue?
After the major One UI 6.1.1 update, some users have found that when they select an album group in the Gallery app, their photos are not visible. Instead, the album seems to disappear entirely.

The moderator has also mentioned that the company is working on a solution to fix these bugs in future updates. In the meantime, you can check some temporary solutions to resolve it.

For that, you just need to open the Samsung Gallery app on your device >> tap the More Options icon (Three vertical dots) >> Select Hide Album option >> Look for albums that have the same name and turn them off.
2.) Turn Off the Album Merge Feature
To do so, launch the Samsung Gallery app >> click on the More icon at the bottom to enter Settings >> check the option for Merge Album and switch it off.
By following these steps, you should be able to see your photo albums again. You can also check software updates and a Gallery app update. If any of them are available on your smartphone, install them now to get a better experience.
