Not shown photos albums when uploading picture to other sites like Facebook or Telegram

This was asked before by someone else but the thread got closed so I'm going to ask. Why don't I have ability to see my photos albums/folders when uploading pictures to non-Apple sites like Facebook or Telegram? Permissions are granted because I can select from the thousands of pictures in my media pictures library but don't have my sorted photos albums/ folders show up. I have Sequoia 15.2 and everything else is current.

Yep-- this has been a problem since macOS 13 Ventura, and no one knows why it doesn't get fixed. Until it does, I do one of two things


  1. I use the search filed. I have attached keywords, titles, and captions to my pictures that have clues about the contents. If I know the pictures I want, I may select them all ahead of time and add a keyword like "TheseHere" so I can get them on a search. Search also works for categories that Photos recognizes, like cat or church or river, etc, to help narrow down the hunt.
  2. I select the pictures in photos and export them to a Finder folder. Then I point the "File Picker" in Safari to that album.


Also, I have left feedback about this for Apple, here:
