My daughter was able to locate the picture. Still don't understand why it doesn't show when I searched.

If this helps at all, I have a Motorola Moto g7 with Android version 10. I'm trying to find a picture that is somewhere on my phone. It was taken during covid, April of 2020. I have searched through pictures taken during 2019, 2020, and 2021. I've searched my name, year, and other more specific terms. It doesn't show up. BUT... my phone offered up the picture today while I was doing something else. Now and then during the day the phone will put together groups of pictures, sort of like a little slide show with music. I was in a store waiting to be waited on and started looking at one of these slide shows. All of a sudden there is the picture that I have been looking for, but before I could take a screen shot it had moved on to the next picture. I did notice that it said five years ago which makes sense. I've since looked at all of my 2020 pictures chronologically and with the searches mentioned above. I can not find this picture, yet the phone showed it to me an hour ago.

What am I doing wrong, if anything? How is it there and not there? Any suggestions on how to locate my picture?

Thanks for for help.

Thanks. I'll keep an eye out.

Is it possible the photo is in the phone’s memory or a micro SD card and you’re looking at the wrong location?

Ask her how she did it and report back to us. It’s a miss and go for me. I try key words or go to the date.

Yeah, inquiring minds want to know.

I was told that even if the pics have been deleted ,
It's still possible to pull them up,
