This suggestion might appeal to all Samsung users and not just my series.

First of all,
the Screenshots taken are saved to the DCIM folder in the phone thereby causing 'Google Photos' to think that the screenshots are also 'Camera photos' and causing the app to back up screenshots along with those taken with the camera app.

This is not an ideal situation as Google Photos doesnt allow for a seperate backup solution in this respective. They completely turn off backup and sync, if camera photos are not allowed to sync.

This issue does not seem to bother other company phones as those folders are not subfolders of DCIM.

An easy solution to this would be for samsung to make a seperate folder out of DCIM.

Secondly,

All recent photos are shown in the camera app's view section. Some have even reported it to be embarrassing to see all recent photos and not just the ones you took on your camera when you try to view it through the camera app.

Solutions to both of these issues along with a blue light filter😉 would really appease a lot of Users.

Please do not push these updates along with oreo as that would take too long considering the first too are popularly reported and suggested.
