Like the title says, whenever I go to upload a photo to somewhere like a Reddit comment section, a message inside of Google messages, or updating a picture on my hinge profile, this stupid Google UI interface gallery comes up instead of a selection of my Samsung photos. This is problematic because it's not showing me any of the albums I have saved in Samsung gallery, only the ones that are saved in Google photos. Does anybody know why this keeps happening, or how to disable it? It's very frustrating not being able to find the proper photos in a timely manner because my phone refuses to use Samsung photos when selecting.

Photo for example... I do not want Google messages to come up, I want the normal gallery. Its very frustrating.
