On Xperia X I use Simple Gallery to allow me to pick recent photos.

I also use Simple Gallery - one of the best gallery apps - no ads and doesn't re-scale photos before showing.

Store pictures to internal memory and not to memory card, and then Whatsapp can find them.

No, but you can probably share them to WhatsApp from the gallery. I'm not using WhatsApp, ao I don't really know if this will work.

I only wonder how many bugs they have to kill each release because of btrfs quirks.

I doubt that at this point they do anything other than basic testing to make sure it at least boots on their Jolla-branded devices. There is no updated kernel, no updated Android compatibility layer, no updated Bluetooth middleware, etc. They introduced a bug on the Jolla Tablet something like three years ago where you can't take any screenshots anymore and it was never fixed, which means that either it's an easy fix which hasn't been implemented because they aren't spending any time to support it, or it's a difficult fix which cannot be implemented without causing numerous other bugs on other devices, which would then also need to be fixed, so they haven't implemented it because they don't go out of their way to support their older products. Either way, the point is, their focus is clearly on the XA2 and future devices.

It does work, but you'll need this to share from Sailfish to Android.

Simple Gallery is an Android app, why would it need that? :)

Ah, I thought you were talking about sharing from the Sailfish gallery.
