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.

    I used to be excited about new Android versions 10 years ago, now I’m thinking what are they gonna take away next.

      This is a permissions thing. It makes it so that apps can only access the photos you select, instead of giving it blanket permissions to all photos and files.

      It says so right in the popup. This is an added feature, not something that’s been taken away.

        Why didn’t they make better with batch select? Scoped storage was fine for this kind of thing. Unless you want to access Android/data folder.
