On older Android versions apps creating files without telling it the database had the problem as you describe, however since about Android 10 this should have been solved. There are commands and AFIR also apps that can trigger this full media scan android.stackexchange.com/q/199685/2241. May be you have some media files that the MediaStore has problems indexing and thus misses the latest updates? | |
