SOLVED: How to upload only selected photos from mobile app?

I want to use Immich as a family photo/video library. This means that everyone should be able to upload from their phone whatever photos they want to share and keep in the family archive. Obviously, this is not every single image on everyone's phone. On the Android app I was only saw filtering by albums, but I couldn't select individual photos for uploading. Does that mean that I should instruct family members to manually move photos to a local "family album" which then Immich will monitor and upload automatically? Is there a way for manually selecting which photos to be uploaded from all recent media?

Yes, manually placing the photos you want into an album would be the way

Thanks. Is it possible to manually trigger the upload or is there only foreground and background auto backup?

There should be a start backup button at the bottom of the backup settings page

Ah yes, it was grayed out because all files were backed up already. Thanks
