To the samsung developers if they ever read this, I truly cannot overstate how much i hate one ui 7, it has destroyed samsung in my eye and i will not buy a new phone from you.

For now im stuck with this 1.8k junk phone, i have tried to survive with the bugs and stupid design descisions which has worked for THE MOST PART however i cannot get over this one and its pissing me off legit.

How do i fix this idiocity? I cannot select my gallery/my files/ect anymore in most apps other than internet (think whatsapp, local app related to selling items in my country ect)

Instead it picks out some idiotic overlay i never asked for that only shows 5 out of my 20+ folders. AND THERE SEEMS TO BE NO WAY TO CHANGE THIS, if anyone know how i can get back the old overlay where i could select apps or the very least have it show me all the folders that would be much appriciated

Which apps are you having trouble selecting? If they aren't showing, it means the app lacks permissions, which is a Google security measure, nothing Samsung specifically. If you grant access to the files permissions for the apps you wish to share them from, there shouldn't be a problem accessing them.

Apps like whatsapp, finn (scandinavian marketplace, discord) ect.

They have been given the loosest permission they can be given (in whatsapp is literally "always allow everything) and i cannot see other folders. Although I have already checked all permissions before making the post of course

I see, well WhatsApp should open the appropriate file management depending on what you want to share. I don't use WhatsApp, but I tested it and all seems to work as expected, choosing documents opens a file manager, choosing Gallery opens up my recent photos etc.

Well that is the problem. I cannot choose gallery ect ect on these apps. When pressing whatever button or area that opens up your photos it just shows the first picture rather than letting you select gallery ect as i said

That is frustrating to hear. Can I confirm are you having this issue with the attach button (paperclip icon) within WhatsApp?

I think this a fault with whatsapp, I had same problem after a WhatsApp update last week and they reissued another update a few days later that fixed it

So make sure you have the latest update
