As you can see in the screenshot, inside the Photo Picker in the Albums view only “Screenshots” is shown while in Photos view all the pictures are available in chronological order.

By looking it up, I found people complaining the same issue and one suggesting adding them with Google Photos (which I don’t have and I don’t want to install).

Just wanted to know if someone else here got the same issue or if there is a workaround/fix for this.
(I’m on GrapheneOS)

Thanks

    “This app can only access the photos you select [in this dialog]”.

    This is a system dialog to let the user choose pictures to share with app. It’s not an app dialog which can’t see things without permissions.

    The same dialog is shown in multiple apps, here in the screenshot the app in question is DarkModeLiveWallpaper (f-droid) which do not have storage-related permissions at all. I can’t give permissions it does not request. So it is not an app permission issue.

    Also, every app shows the same one folder in Albums view: screenshots.

      Thats peculiar, on my end, after installing the app it shows all my albums in the Albums tab
