Your phone's Gallery is usually a colorful icon (like photos or a collage) on your Home screen or in the app drawer (swipe up from the bottom) where it organizes your pictures, often found alongside or within apps like Google Photos or a dedicated folder for your device brand, but you can always use the phone's search bar (type "Gallery") or check the "My Files" app for the physical folders (like DCIM) where images are stored.
