I have an album on my phone with my vaccine card. It's always been in "gallery". Now, I admit, I only assumed gallery was resident on the phone - and thus I always select it as a place for my photos v. the Google photos app.

Today when I tried to find the album in gallery it was no longer there. It's in the Google photo app now.
