Don't know what you did, but your photos should still be in Samsung's Gallery. 

It sounds like you denied permission to Samsung's Gallery to access your photos. 

Go to Settings > Apps Search for "Gallery" & Click on it & check permissions. 

Any Gallery, be it Samsung's, Google's or any other gallery, is essentially just a viewer. 

You should be able to just Uninstall Google's Gallery, and your photos should still be on your device. 

Download another gallery from the Play Store, ie: F-Stop Gallery (which is what I use), and your photos will be there.

Hi, thanks for such a quick response. Yes, don't know what i toggled, but Google photo is now a pain in the ***... everything i do goes there and not gallery. I hv checked gallery app settings/ permission, still can't get it to behave like before. I also not allow permission on Google photo. So now, any pic i take, google photo pop up window ask to allow ...
I looked in MY FILES and see all my folders and pic under DCIM .
Is it possible to move them to gallery? If so, how? Don't see any gallery folder in My Files.
I'm leaning towards finding a way to get back all pic/ folders before Uninstalling Google photo.
Btw, i don't use any cloud services .... that is google, MS, Samsung etc, so nothing on the web

Okay, try this:

• Go to Settings > Apps & Search for "Gallery", Click on it & then tap where it says "Set as Default".
• I'm guessing that you accidentally set the Google Gallery as default 🤔
•

You can take a screenshot in several different ways. 

Click BOTH the Power button & Volume DOWN.. SIMULTANEOUSLY & QUICKLY and release at the same time.

Palm Swipe to Capture the screen. Settings > Advanced Features. 

3rd party app from the Play Store. 

I think that you can even use Bixby to take a screenshot.

Also, if you Open My Files & Click on images, you'll see your photos.
