What does it mean for a corrupted photo to appear on my album? So I decided to clear out some photo for storage and I pasted by this photo here, but it was corrupted:



The photo was actually took yesterday (12/25/18) but today I open to find it like this. I don't know how the image got to be like that, but I'm worried that it can be a virus or it can damage the phone in another way.
I have faced this issue too and in my case i have transferred pictures from another device to my device and Sharing Tool (sharing app) was buggy and it corrupted some files.

So make sure if you transferred from another device.

Or

It could be possible if you have 'Auto Backup' enabled in any cloud storage. It also makes my image looks like yours and what i did uninstalled that app but images that are affected still not recovered.
