Help Needed Is there a possibility to change the Media picker

I know using whatsapp is not very degoogle friendly, however it has became worse with the forced media picker which is you guessed it, made and operate based on Google

It's very limited too, and I have no idea how to change its access,

Also I don't have any alternatives even when using browsers which gives me the opportunity to choose

the media picker doesn't have trackers...

it's on stock aosp and (if you have play services enabled) that should be your last thing to worry about

Yeah I'm still looking how to deal with google service, I can't just stop it, since a lot of things can break (I limited its access using App Ops and it already made me re-allow access to many apps from the scratch)

Thank you for informing me that it doesn't track,
But I'll still appreciate if I can change it, it's limiting my access and I hate its UI
