Change the photo/media picker on Pixel 7?

Hey /c/android

I'd like to change the default media picker for my pixel 7, but I'm not sure how to do it. Right now, a lot of apps are getting me use Google Photos, which I think sucks. For instance, it won't show folders I've created using google gallery.

I like google Gallery better, but more and more apps are pushing me to use photos, and want something that's a bit more intuitive to use.

Are there third party apps I can use to do this, or a way to force my system to use just google gallery?

thanks a bunch

Tap and hold the google photos app icon. Go to app info. Scroll down and go to open by default, and then clear default preferences
- That helped, kind of but I can't get the gallery app to replace it.
  
  Clear its default also and then next time you tap on a photo it should ask you which default app you want to use to open the pictures with. Just select always
