Android: Gallery cannot be opened - you can do that

If your gallery doesn't open on Android, you won't be able to access your pictures. We'll tell you what you can do in this case in our practical tip.

Gallery cannot be opened on Android - what to do?

If you can no longer open the gallery on your Android smartphone, you should first restart the device. Small errors in the system can often be corrected. There may also be other causes:

• In most cases, the error occurs when there is not enough space on your smartphone.
• Make more space by deleting unnecessary data or uninstalling unused apps.
• Then restart your smartphone and try again to open the gallery.
• If the error still occurs, you can try to clear the cache.
• To do this, open the "Settings" on the smartphone and switch to "Apps".
• Search for the "Gallery" here and tap on it. Then you have to tap on "Storage".
• Select the "Clear cache" button there and then try again. The error should now be gone.
