The feature

When adding photos to immich from my iPhone, you can only upload to the actual library and then you have to go search for that photo based on its date it was taken. This is super frustrating and time consuming. Can we add the feature to upload direct to the photo album that picture is going to belong to just like you're able to do from a computer?
