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.
It looks like the behaviour Apple recently added, you can give an app limited access to your files. So instead of just getting the file upload prompt, you get a system prompt first, that asks which files you want the app to be able to see.
The solution is probably to give that app full access to your files/photos
No thats on Android for ages.
Gave full perms for storage and audio but it’s still happening :(
This is Jerboa (Lemmy client) shown in the post. I know because I use it too, and like OP I have an Android phone with OneUI 6.0 and Android 14.
I get the same popup, but it doesn’t seem like a popup integrated by Android since Jerboa is the only app where this behavior occurs.
The only reason I haven’t made a similar post is that I always upload to third-party image hosting services in the interest of not overwhelming the server on my instance.
