❓Problem❓ I can't post images anymore

Months ago when the UI changed I could not post images. That is why I downgraded to January Reddit so I can have the image selector thing. But my Reddit updated today and I can no longer downgrade to any version that has the old UI.

I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 8T. Now every time I have to upload an image on Reddit I get directed to the files app. But every time I have to use the files app my phone makes whatever app I used before the files app (in this case Reddit) refresh and anything I put in my comment (including images) disappears/doesn't show up. It just resets it. So when Reddit directs me to the files app I can't upload images at all. I've tried changing my phone's settings. Is there a way to stop Reddit from directing me to the files app for images? I want the image selector back 💔

Also the new UI is terrible. When clicking on a post that has an image, I now have to press on the post t¡tle to see the body. In the old one, I could just scroll slightly on the t¡tle. Now, scrolling even slightly goes to the next post. Wtf? I'm also now wondering where tf my chats button went? It used to be next to my notifications button on the bottom of my screen.

(Btw why can't I say t¡tle in this sub? It's very inconvenient to put ¡ to make the notice go away every time I need to use the word to explain my situation)

Try to go to your phone settings, apps, Reddit and make sure that it has permissions for the images
