Is is possible to get messages to default to photos and not the gallery

[Android Central Question]

When attaching photos to a message it defaults to the Gallery and photos taken by the phone

Welcome to Android Central! Which phone? Is this Google's Messages app, or the stock messaging app from the phone manufacturer? Are you saying that you want it to default to your Google Photos library?

Gallery is an app. Photos is an app. Either will show all photos on the phone. (There are no photos in Gallery or Photos.)

The difference, though, is that Google Photos can give the app direct access to your photos saved in the cloud, while the stock Gallery app usually can't.
