Hey @Mppdev
You will have to manually change the filename of the pictures.
Here are the steps-
Open the gallery app
Select the picture
Click on the three dots (top right corner)
Select- Rename
Add the filename of your choice

Hey @Mansi_ASUS, thanks for your input. Unfortunately, this is not what I was asking. I know how to rename a single file, but imagine this: I need to change a picture name to a specific pattern before it is uploaded to my storage. Every single picture taken.
So once again, I am looking for a way to change a *default filename pattern*.
Thanks!

Hey @Mppdev
Apologies for the misunderstanding.
However, changing the default filename pattern isn't possible without the use of an external scripting app or software. You can probably generate a shell script on a PC that can automatically rename all the files generated by your phone.

Do you know if ASUS got it in the development queue? I am surprised, that such a basic option is not available. I had it on every single phone that I had used before.
