Description

### Steps to reproduce

1. Go to a chat.
2. Click the `+` to attach a file.
3. Press "Gallery":

![SmartSelect_20211213-203233_Element](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/7773090/145876298-c693c85e-9fcc-4035-ab70-2406297d3a03.jpg)

### Outcome

#### What did you expect?

I expect to get to choose images from the gallery app.

#### What happened instead?

Instead I get the file picker, the exact same thing as if I pressed "File". Since they are different buttons, I expect them to have different behavior. It's more bothersome to select images from the file picker than the gallery view.
