You don't necessarily have to use a gallery app full of ads or unnecessary online features to view photos on your phone.

Fossify Gallery is a gallery app focused on viewing, editing and managing locally stored photos and videos on Android. It offers features such as organizing photos by albums, making basic edits, hiding some items, and restoring deleted items. Fossify

What can you do?

• You can view and edit your photos and videos.
• You can crop, rotate and resize images.
• You can use the hiding and recycle bin features supported by the application.
• You can remove the photo's EXIF metadata, such as location and camera information.

Fossify Gallery's privacy policy dated 12 July 2026 notes that the app does not ask for Android internet permissions, does not advertise or track, and does not send app data to Fossify. Photos and videos moving off the device are dependent on user-initiated actions, such as sharing or a storage/sync service configured on the device. Fossify

Attention: Don't think of the hide feature in a gallery app as a private vault protected by strong encryption under all circumstances. For very sensitive files, separately evaluate the device's security settings and the application's actual protection methods.
