Hi,
I'm not super tech savvy, but I usually know enough for what I do on my tablet. After talking to numerous people, we've come to the conclusion that I need to perform a factory reset on my Samsung Galaxy Tab A. I've never done this on any device and I'm scared to. I DO have an SD card in my tablet and I have every picture on my tablet moved to the SD card and every file etc that's able to move, moved to my SD card. Can anyone tell me what to do next? I don't have any work stuff or anything crucial on here, I'd say my pics are the most important things to me, but they are on my SD card. Do I remove my SD card before doing a factory reset or leave it in? And after the reset, how do I access the stuff on my SD card? And help/advice would be super appreciated.

 

I don't have a pc unfortunately. Will I lose my pics if I don't back them up to a pc? Also, do I take the sd card out of my tablet for the reset, or leave it in?

 

I used to use Google photos about 7 or 8 years ago, but then I got worried that other people with a Google acct could see them. There's nothing bad but I don't want every single pic I take to be out there for people to see. I can't remember why I was thinking others could see them, I'll have to go into Google photos and check and see why I thought that.
