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.

      You could use Insular to quarantine your untrusted apps into their own profile (different permissions, file directory etc) and then transfer the individual photos to the “work” profile to access them with whatsapp.

        It is solution but not very convenient. You need to transfer photos to another profile, system-wide VPN is not active in another profile.

        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
