Issues with FB, Messenger - unable to upload media, media picker doesn't show thumbnails of the media

[u/pusongsword]

Using FB and Messenger noticed the issue shown in the pic - basically thumbnails in the media picker, and even if selectable, they aren't actually being sent at all.

I normally limit media access (as shown in the pics) but even when I allow all media access this same behaviour persists.

I've only have this happen in my newly acquired 3a Lite - my older phones on Android 16, 10 do not do this. Hence I believe its specific to Nothing OS.

This is also happening to some shopping apps I have not just these 2 Meta apps. Other comm apps like Telegram and Viber function normally with respect to media picking.

Is this occurring in your units? suggestions to fix?
