We shouldn’t need to add a .nomedia file under Android/data/<package>/files/Telegram/Telegram Images. Could you share more details, like which gallery app you’re using and the full path of the images you’re seeing?

[ygxbnet]

When using this app on Android 10 with external storage enabled, NagramX creates "Telegram Images" and "Telegram Video" folders under /storage/emulated/0/Telegram and caches images and videos there. Since this directory is scanned by most photo galleries including the system gallery, so I added a .nomedia file.

I tested, It can work. Thank you very much!
