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?![Screenshot_20230922-164302](https://beehaw.org/pictrs/image/e3a6dd3b-5c4c-48cf-a7c0-ec687b5c7310.webp)
No such thing in my LineageOS ;)
Sync is not a no go rather something I dont mind if not present.
The phone I want this for is on A11 and my work phone. I dontfknow if I am missing to enable folder level permissions for apps but many apps Iave doseea all pictures or videos have.
The most isolation IhVave seen is use files within signal or telegram and those dont show up unless I save to gallery.
