Features & Capabilities

Nomedia is a powerful tool designed to help Android users manage media visibility by creating or deleting ".nomedia" files in specific folders. This forces the media scanner to ignore media files in these directories, preventing them from appearing in Gallery, Music Player, Video Player, and other apps relying on MediaStore.

Key features include automatic scanning of all media folders (with manual folder addition on Android 11+) and two viewing modes: a convenient folder list and an advanced file browser. Users can easily toggle the presence of .nomedia files to hide or reveal media content across their device. Please note, this extension is ideal for hiding redundant or junk media files but is not intended as a privacy protection tool. Compatibility may vary on some devices, and caution is advised when using on sensitive folders.

User Reviews

Nomedia effectively hides media from the gallery using .nomedia files and persists changes even after uninstall, and is praised for its simplicity. However, it is plagued by intrusive ads and significant privacy concerns, along with a sometimes clunky user experience that leads to user frustration.

Pros

Hides media from the gallery (e.g., WhatsApp folders) effectively.
Easy to use and works as advertised.
Creates .nomedia files and uses MediaStore scanning to block media.
Changes persist after uninstall, so settings stay in place.
Keeps apps functioning by hiding media without breaking apps that rely on those files.

Cons

Intrusive ads flood the UI and degrade usability.
Privacy concerns about data collection and sharing with third parties.
Negative usability sentiment: clunky interface and overall hassle leading some users to uninstall.
