    More often, app crashes occur if the app's cache and data are outdated. So, this time we recommend you to perform an app reset so that those old files and data on your Gallery app will be replaced by newer ones.

    This is an easy method to perform but very effective, especially in dealing issue like this. Here's how it's done:

    1. Swipe down from the tap of the display to pull the notification panel down.

    4. Find and tap Gallery.
    5. Touch Storage.
    6. Now, tap Clear cache.
    7. And then, tap Clear data and touch OK at the bottom of the screen.

    When you're done resetting your Gallery app go back to the Home screen and launch it and see if it still crashes. If so, move to the next method.

  3. Third solution: Delete the system cache.

    Since the Gallery app is embedded into the system, it's possible that the issue is triggered by the old cache and data in the system. To fix it, all you need to do is to reset the system cache of your device.

    These are the temporary files and data saved in the system helping the device to run smoothly every time you use it. So, if these files and data are corrupted the device will function poorly and will lead to different types of issues like app crashing.

    Through resetting the cache partition, those old files and data will be replaced and newer ones will be created. This is how you do it:

    1. Turn off the device.
    2. Press and hold the Volume Up and Power keys.
    3. When the Galaxy A33 logo shows, release all three keys.
    4. Your Galaxy A33 will continue to boot up into the Recovery Mode. Once you see a black screen with blue and yellow texts, proceed to the next step.
    5. Press the Volume down key several times to highlight wipe cache partition.
    6. Press Power key to select.
    7. Press the Volume down key to highlight yes, them and press the Power key to select.
    8. When the wipe cache partition is complete, Reboot system now is highlighted.
    9. Press the Power key to restart the device.
