When I first connected my Canon PowerShot SD880 IS camera to my Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 using a connecting cable, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 asked whether to use camera importer or Google photos app. I selected camera importer, but now everytime I connect the Canon camera it automatically opens camera importer. How do I stop this and be able to select Google photos?

I have Android 6.0.1 installed

Go to Settings -> Apps -> Camera importer (?) and clear defaults.

The next time you connect the camera it should ask you to choose an app.

When I go to Settings > Apps there is no Camera Importer listed .

You'll have to look through the list of apps and figure out which one it is. Is it under Canon? Importer?

I don't know, but I assure you it is there somewhere.

I have not been able to find any app that relates to Camera Importer. Is it possible that this is a sub program under either Google or the Samsung tweek of Android 6.0.1 ? If so, is there a program I can run to modify it?

I haven't a clue. Best guess: try clearing defaults for the Camera app itself.

I have discovered the answer. It turns out Camera Importer is part of the Google Photos app. In order to undo the problem, I had to uninstall the Google Photos app and then Disable it. Then I plugged the Canon PowerShot SD880 IS camera back in and a Gallary popup appeared and asked me if I wanted to make Gallary the Default App. (which I did). The picture thumbnails loaded perfectly and then I could choose to select one or to import one or more. I re-enabled the Google Photos app but did not select it as the Default App.
