If someone sends me a video or pic on kik and I want to download it, I click on the tick top right corner. Now presumably they get stored in my gallery (they used to) but they're not there now. Cant find anywhere on my phone. Any suggestions?

no kik folder in gallery at all and no hidden folders.

only 8 options, videos, faves, recent, suggestions, locations, shared albums, recycle bin and settings. ive gone into every option and i cant see them.

last resort i assume would be delete gallery and reinstall, see if that helps?

I just tested it. Also says saved, but then doesn't show up anywhere. No Kik folder. They're supposedly supposed to get saved in your dcim folder, but the image is not there that I can see.

The option to save the same image is gone now apparently as it's already been saved.

This is correct and works

Open the "My files" app which maybe in the "Samsung" group. I forgot it was in there tbh

File path is /My files/Internal Storage/Android/data/kik.android/files/kik

You should see FILE in list then Android.

Service provider probably won't help as it's a phone and 3rd party app issue not a service they provide.

File app may be best way to go

Check photo gallery as this holds files for apps if you have synchronisation between the two
