Nothing to copy. A new gallery reads the same folders OnePlus Gallery does.
Pick one from the table. Keep OnePlus Gallery for now.
Open the new app and allow Photos and videos. Your albums appear on their own.
Settings, Apps, Default apps. Then live with it for a week.
For a gallery that also opens your clouds and your NAS, start with Piktures. For something small and offline, Fossify Gallery or Aves Libre. All of them read the same photos OnePlus Gallery does.
Usually not, because it ships with the phone. You don't need to. Set another gallery as the default and OnePlus Gallery stays out of the way.
No. They stay in the same folders on your phone. A new gallery reads them in place, so there is nothing to copy and nothing to undo.
Hidden or locked albums in OnePlus Gallery stay there until you move them out. Piktures has a Secret Space behind a PIN for photos you want private in the new app.
Not for most of them. Piktures, Aves Libre and Fossify Gallery work without signing up.
