Cant help but this will bump it..
I had a samsung phone that i did a reset on about 3 years ago... i remember loosing all the photos i had on that... fortunately most had been backed up to a hard drive...
Couldnt explain why it happened as im sure i had reset a phone before without loosing photos...

I believe the Cubot support is quite good, we use their phones but have not had any problems, however friends have had issues and contacted them by email with good results, worth a try.
Cheers

Have you synced your Google account with the new phone? Have you taken a photo and seen the new image in the review?

Yes done all that bit the old gallery just isn't available anymore and I can't find it. I'm sure it was here before I deleted old phone Google photos is fine so all is not lost. It's just different and I preferred how it was.

Infact I may give this phone to the with and go back to my Cubot Max I think I prefer it.

Take a look at the file structure - the photos may just be in a different folder.

I have come to conclusion that the gallery feature cant be included on the phone or the newer android system. I did a factory reset this morning still not there I also watched a review on utube and it wasnt showing on that phone either so just something I have to get used too I guess or find a solution

Go into settings then apps and look through what you have. Maybe just switched off or you will have to get the app u want from the app store.
If you are saying all the photos have gone then maybe when u did the tr. to the new phone u excluded them by accident. Just restore from Google photos.

Which version of Android are you running? I have 7 Nougat allthough Gallery is present all photos are viewed through Google Photos, only things like screen shots are viewed in Gallery.

I have learnt to use the Google photos one.

But there are lots of gallery apps available, check out the Amazon photos app if you are a prime user.

I think the one you are happy may have been retired and replaced on the newer phone. If you cannot find it on Google Play or via an email to Cubot then you could look at other app platforms, such as Aptiode () although if you use markets other than Google Play and Amazon I would install protection such as Malwarebytes just in case.

Got Android 8.1.0 on my Moto G5S+ and running a gallery app from Simple Mobile Tools (v6.1.2 just updated in last couple of days) and it does for me.
Don't ask me anything else as I'm the Android luddite in chief:whistle2: (it was son who stuck it on the phone for me)!

If it's Android, the Gallery app is just a 'view'. Have a look for summat like My Files or Documents. That will have them permanently.

I searched high and low and cubot told me this


This icon of the Gallery has been canceled in our phones those sold in 2018. And it won't be appeared any longer.
Our later versions only use the icon of Google Photo.

Only the icon has gone. It's just a shortcut to where the photos are stored.

Which I assume is google photos and has its own icon

Edited had a look around again found this but how do I find a shortcut/ icon ?
