    Hi there!

     

    It sounds like you are connecting your phone to your computer and it is still opening iPhoto by default rather than Photos. You should be able to change that in the Image Capture application:

     

    iOS: Disabling digital camera notification in Mac OS X

    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201399

    Mac OS X 10.6 and later

    To disable this notification:

    1. Connect the iOS device.
    2. Open Image Capture (located in Applications).
    3. Select your device from the Devices list.
    4. Click the Show Device Settings button (Show Device Settings button) in the lower left corner if Device Settings are not visible.
    5. Select "No Application" in the pop-up menu in the Device Settings.

    No Application

     

    You may need to click the disclosure button (  ) at the bottom left of the window to see the option depicted in the above screen shot.
