I don’t normally use a phone to search for memes, but have a similar situation with game screenshots. But I solve it by just occasionally going through folders and sorting them instead of doing so on the spot. Adding metadata to MP3s, however, happens just like what you described, just because I don’t like leaving tracks without album art.

MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 9 months agoAs a cultured collector of memes, one of the most annoying things ever is downloading images to my phone from the internet with filenames like “124fdgklhhr24.jpeg” and if I don’t separately navigate to it, hold down to rename it, move it manually to where I want it for later, it just falls into the endless “Download” folder.
I think this behavior is encouraged precisely so people don’t understand directories, fill up their phones with random nonsense, and then happily subscribe to “cloud storage” when it’s constantly pushed at them.

I made a concerted effort one evening to go into my downloads folder on my PC, rename all the nameless garbage filenames, and then actually move and sort them into my pictures/documents/etc folders.
Was a huge pain in the ass, but it saved me so much effort looking for stuff later on down the line. Also, changing Firefox’s default download setting to prompt me for a name and location every time certainly helped.
