cannot browse photo albums when uploading an image on MacBook Pro w/Ventura 13.1

I’m confused. This is a clear issue that hinders the workflow of everyone affected yet as of 20/6/2024 it has not been resolved. I thought issues like this would be tackled fast but it seems I was mistaken.

This hinders my mother's workflow greatly and I’d like to know when this will be resolved. A software update is supposed to add to the user’s experience, not take away from it.

Have a nice day!

Melineed - You are soooo right. There are no fixes, suggestions or anything to help with the problems. In fact, I have concluded that the MacBook Pro is very pretty, but not at all intuitive like a good old PC. (Much like my past girlfriends :-). The only reason I continue to use a Mac is because of my watch and iPad. Otherwise, I'd be off (Mac) like a prom dress.

Exact same boat; I work in residential construction on the materials/supply side and I am absolutely flabbergasted that so few people are on this thread saying, "Me too." How can this not be a bigger problem for people (unless it's just an error and something's wrong with the individual instance of Instagram I'm running on my machine/OS)? I mean, I take what I consider to be a lot of photos (>10 week) which I'd have to imagine probably seems like very few to many people. I have a few friends that probably take in excess of 25 insta selfies per day LOL. Wouldn't they be freaking out way sooner than I would be on this? It's like hunting for a needle in a haystack if you want to go back and find a photo you took months ago to upload to a website. It's so painful most times that I just get discouraged entirely and give up, never uploading the photo and, by extension, never finishing the task at hand :(

I've been struggling with this for a LONG time and just kinda made-do as I figured it was some setting I had to figure out. Finally it became a big enough problem that I decided to spend time researching it to figure it out. Now I see it's been going on for years! ARG. I would guess many people are in the same boat... especially if it's not job related... they just kind of deal with it (b/c figuring it out can take up so much time).

This bug is driving me crazy because I post a lot of photos. Search parameters are just bizarre in what they show. I'm thinking of uninstalling Ventura and going back if this isn't fixed.

I'm not good with technology. I don't attempt much because I know that I will screw something else up. So the problem is irritating, but like a lot of things, we learn to live with it.

So, apparently, this is not a Bug but a new Feature?

I'm not happy either... it's a real pain in the ..... Facebook or Apple need to fix this and quick.

Hello my Apple friends, any solution (FIX) to this BUG? its driving me mad.

it's MacOS Sonoma and almost 2024 and this bug still exists 🤦🏻‍♂️

You are not alone with this problem. It's infuriating to say the least inconvenient. As yet no solution has been forthcoming from either Apple or third party web sites or social media web sites.

I agree, this is very frustrating and disappointing of Apple to not allow the ability to upload or attach photos from your photo library like previously. Please bring back this feature!

Same problem, anyone find a solution? Running Sonoma 14.5
