pull down menu for posting photos on social media using my Mac Book Pro

Since installing Ventura IOS, I found that if I want to post a photo on social media, there is no option to scroll through "albums" just the "photos" option on the pull down menu. Given I have over 30k+ photos, that's not an option. Any idea when Apple is going to fix this or are there any other options? I reported this to Apple right after they released the first edition of Ventura so there is at least one technician who is aware of the problem.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.6

That's a bug or left out feature in the new Photos V8.0. Until there's a fix in one of the next system updates a reasonable workaround is to assign a unique keyword to those photos you want to upload to social media and then in the browser window search for that keyword.

dBe sure to tell Apple about the problem via Feedback - Photos - Apple because we all know that the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

I for one am not clear on what "pull down menu" you are referring to.

Well, if you post photos on social media, there's a pull down menu, like the one I just posted. Before Ventura there was an additional option "albums". Understand nobody here has direct knowledge of what or when Apple does something but perhaps someone out there is dealing with the same issue and could perhaps suggest a fix. Thanks for your input.
