I ended up using the Samsung chat function to see if someone from Support could help. The screenshots above are not available on my phone and the default buttons on both Gallery and Photos are greyed out. The rep told me that Photos will be used as backup storage not the primary application. The work around to sharing older photos is to physically download them onto the phone for Gallery to access.

I previously had a Google Pixel phone and just switched to a Samsung Galaxy. I use Google photos exclusively. How do I make Photos my default app and not Gallery? Both apps are marked as "not the default' in Settings with the "clear defaults" option grayed out for both. The disable button for Gallery is also grayed out. I use Photos for all my media posts and it's not current an option. I don't mind Gallery since it does sync to Photos, but how am I supposed to share older pics if I can't access Photos. Any advice?
