One UI 6.0 and Android version 14. Whenever I go to upload a photo this weird sub menu pops up instead of taking me directly to my gallery or my files. What is this, and how do I disable it?
Edit: Thanks for all the replies everyone! Appears to be a native android photo picker and it cannot be disabled as far as I've seen and been made aware from this thread.
Scoped storage sets that an app which requests access to images, gets to only see images instead of a full file browser.
It's a safety and privacy feature. I don't think it can be disabled
It's actually even better than that. Because this is an OS provided picker the app only gets access to the photos you select, instead of all of your photos.
Scoped storage existed before this popup.
Yes. Maybe now the app supports it
I don’t get how this isn’t a user choice, like on iOS. Getting dual selection windows is stupid. Also… why couldn’t you just use a system file picker? Why does it end up being extra steps. Doesn’t make sense to me.
