Samsung is degrading its quality day by day. New software updates on A53 have deleted all albums in my grouped albums except the album on the premiew. Not even in DCIM folder. And i keep my onedrive and google sync off because not to overflood it. I can't go thru the hassle everytime there is a new update to back up photos from google and group the albums again.
