Some image viewers on smartphones let the user delete photos and videos by swiping them off the screen vertically. This causes the risk of it happening accidentally. Someone must have thought this is a smart idea.

If a gallery application has this anti-feature, I will immediately stop using it and install a third-party one without swipe-to-delete.

maybe they wanna sell their new "High Quality Cloud Backup Service" for 59.99$ a month that allows people to un-delete stuff.

@tosensei Would also explain memory-card-less phones. Stops working = better have some backup. MicroSD was an additional layer of protection against data loss. That is now gone.

@exerceo microSD cannot be considered a serious backup solution. If the data only exists on microSD, it doesn't exist.

@electrineer If data only exists on internal storage, it exists even less.
