If you’ve updated your Samsung Galaxy phone to One UI 6.1.1 and noticed that your photo albums are missing or not showing up in the Gallery app, you’re not alone. Several Galaxy users are experiencing the same issue. Let’s take a look at what’s cause of this issue and how to fix it.

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.
