When uploading media to Discord, Google Photos is no longer showing in "browse media in other apps" on my Pixel 6. (programming.dev)

It only shows Drive (for each account), Bug Reports (?) and System Traces (?). Of course, I just restarted my phone to see if it fixed it. It did, but as soon as I try a second time it's gone again.

I mention Discord but I'm pretty sure this file picker screen is not directly associated with Discord.

Update: This is affecting a friend of mine as well in the same way from the same time. Haven't determined if it's just Discord yet.

Do you not see photos and other media apps when attaching through files? In the sidebar? I see a full apps list to attach through. I'm not using pixel and have an android 14 smartphone.

Also, how does it work in other apps like the one you used to post in Lemmy? Depending on that you could consider raising a bug report at google or discord.

I see that, but Photos isn't there anymore. Same thing with my friend from the same time. Jerboa uses a different picker. I feel confident some apps use the same picker Discord does but I haven't been able to verify because I can't find one lol.

In google photos, preferences, photos view, there are some settings which could have been changed. See if something is different on your end.
