Some of my pictures on my S21 Ultra in the Gallery end up at the bottom with a Dec 31 1969 date on them. Funny thing is that it doesn't happen to all the pictures but to quite a few of them. I use both Samsung Gallery and Google Pictures and this only happens in Gallery. I also noticed that it happened on my Note 10+ right after the Android 11 UI 3.0 update. If i go in the picture details, there's no date on them. Any one else with this issue ?

Nope, even going to the oldest picture the dates appear to be correct. 

I generally don't use Samsung's Gallery or Google's. I'm normally using F-Stop (paid version) Gallery or a modified version of QuickPic (modified so that it has nothing to do with cheetah mobile) and it's Ad Free

I know that some galleries allow you to "fix the date".

I only use Samsung Gallery; however, my date and time are all correct. Not sure what leading to the wrong date and time. I do upgraded to UI3 as well.

I believe that December 31st 1969 is a default error from Unix. I'm only guessing, but maybe it's happening because Samsung's gallery didn't know where to put the images?

its annoying as if i take multiple pictures of the same object, half of them end up at the bottom of the Gallery and half stay at the top.

I don't know if you can fix the date with Samsung's or Google's galleries, but you can with some other gallery apps. Guess it depends on how many pictures you have to fix, and how patient you are.

If you like, I can post the link to the modified QuickPic Telegram Group?

Hi GG2, Did you take those pictures using the S21 Ultra camera or did you transfer them to the S21 ultra from another device?
