Thank you so much!! All those Recents were driving me bonkers. Tried copying them to albums but the photos were deleted in both places when l removed them from Recents. 😢 Thanks again!! 👍
My S21 was slightly different but it still worked and I also unchecked Merge Albums - Photos are my biggest usage for my phone, I hate them messing with my stuff.
Did not work there's no gallery lab option no matter what I do on S22 Ultra. Driving me bonkers all these 8k of pics here why is this recents album even here or how do we delete them individually without deleting the pics in the albums along with it.
Hi, is it possible to keep the folder but delete a few individual images only? I copied images to another folder and didn't want them showing up in the "Recent" folder. I noticed it I delete the image from the "Recent" folder it deleted it from the folder it is stored in as well 😕👎🏼 Thank you! 🌟
The Recent folder/album is a virtual folder, so it isn't the actual folder storing the images. See the "How to stop specific photos/videos from showing in the Recent album?" video: th-cam.com/video/Ncko5scaru4/w-d-xo.html
I'm not sure if its deleting it but on some phones just hit the 3 dots in the upeer right corner and hit "select albums to show" and from there just uncheck any you don't want to appear.
@FonGuide same question.. i think what they meant is it taking up storage memory for all the repeated items in the recent album.? Even I'f it's hidden?
I think the only way to hide JUST the Recent album but not Favorite, is by turning on the "Select essential albums" in the Gallery settings. Then go to the three-vertical-dot Menu button > Select essential albums > uncheck Recent. While it doesn't completely hide the Recent album but at least it isn't visible on the Albums tab at first without tapping View all.
I am using the same Samsung model and it is working fine for me....Make sure you tap it 10 times as at the last moment it shows u countdown and you need complete the process to activate the gallery labs. Try it...Hope it works for you as well.@@curly276

S23 Version 15.0.01.1 the tapping on version does nothing. Tried it multiple times. Another vid had tapping 13 times instead of 10, still nothing.
I found that it works when tap faster.
i have the S23 aswell, and what i did was just spam tapped it fast until it said gallery labs was enabled
Same her did absolutely nothing and there is no gallery lab option at all either
Thank you very much.... very useful and helpful

Omg! Thank you so much ❤
You're welcome!
Thank you brotha 👍
How do you reverse it and go back to the original way?
Go back to Gallery Labs and turn on the Show virtual albums option. Cheers.
This is the best video onlinw
Thank you very much very useful
You are welcome 🙏

For the case of One UI 5.x, yes, but the virtual albums (Recent , Favorite) will still be in the "View all" album view.
Doesn’t work
Thank you so much 👍
You are welcome 👍
Excellent 👍👍👍 it worked
So even if removing it, is it still taking up memory in phone?
When the Gallery app is opened, it uses memory for sure. The more features you disable, the less memory it uses.
@FonGuide same question.. i think what they meant is it taking up storage memory for all the repeated items in the recent album.? Even I'f it's hidden?
Will it delete my pictures?
It won't. Those you turn off are virtual albums.
But i want to see favourite album only don't want recent what to do

In labs idont have options like "show virtual" what can i doo
What model of the Galaxy phone are you using?
Samsung A05
It works on my A05s. Tap on the version number faster. Cheers 🙏
Doesn't work, no option for labs after tapping 10 times
What phone/model are you having?
i'm using a samsung A32
You restart the phone and try again. This method works on my entry level models.

Tapping Doesn’t work on Galaxy S20 ultra
Thanks
How to reset it?
If you want to get back the Recent and Favourite albums. Just turn off the "Show virtual albums" option and turn off the Gallery Labs.
How to remove recent album permanently?
Recent album is just a virtual album. To me it's consider removed as long as I want by "not showing" with the instructions in this video.
@@FonGuide ok
Doesnt work on s24 plus
It works on my S24. You don't see the Gallery Labs option? Have you tried repeating the steps of tapping on the version?
Grazie....
Prego 🙏
