Google has a Gallery app (formerly Gallery Go) for offline photo viewing that many users, including Pixel owners, are unaware of, despite its billion-plus downloads and six-year existence.
A recent Reddit thread brought attention to the app's obscurity, with users appreciating it as a simple alternative to Google Photos.
The Gallery app has flown under the radar due to limited promotion and updates by Google, with only minor improvements in January.
While Google Photos remains a popular choice for its editing features, the lesser-known Gallery app offers a lighter, offline-friendly option for managing photos.
