Posting Pictures on Facebook on

In regards to posting pictures on Facebook, has anyone else lost the ability to select a picture from an "Album" in the drop down on Photos? When I click on Add Pictures, This began after I upgraded to Ventura. Not a life changer, but it is a pain in the butt to look for a photo in the entire library.

However, when I add a picture to a document and I click on photos, the "library" drop down appears.

iMac 21.5″ 4K, macOS 13.0

I always drag to the desktop first any photos I want to add to/upload to facebook webpage.


"Sharing" has been limited going back several macOS now

— You do not say what macOS(?) you came from when you say "upgraded to Ventura"...



If Safari on Mac doesn't open a webpage or isn't working as ...




Other thoughts — you can see if your web browser is allowed to access Photos from the browser in

>System Settings>Security & Privacy>Photos

Under Privacy& Security - Photos, I do have Google and Safari Checked. Prior to Ventura, I was using Monterey without any problem. When I went back to Facebook today and tried to post again, instead of Photos I clicked on Movies in the sidebar. The "Album" drop down appeared for that selection. I went on to do something else. When I returned to try again, the drop down selection in Movies disappeared and Albums option was no longer there.

The is a workaround and I will open my "Photos" app running in the background. When I need to post, I will drag and drop the photo I need.

I still need to know what changes were made. I will probably make a phone call to Apple in the near future.

Thanks much for your reply!
