PickVisualMediaRequest does not show 3rd party app folders

I am trying to use the new PhotoPicker to pick an image/video from the gallery:

private val selectImageOrVideoFromGalleryResult =
    registerForActivityResult(ActivityResultContracts.PickVisualMedia()) { uri: Uri? ->
        uri?.let {
            viewModel.addMedia(uri)
        }
    }

private fun selectMediaFromGallery() = selectImageOrVideoFromGalleryResult.launch(
      PickVisualMediaRequest(ActivityResultContracts.PickVisualMedia.ImageAndVideo))

The code works as intended, but the issue is that only files from these folders are visible: Videos, Camera, Screenshots, Downloads

I do have other folders in my gallery though (eg. AdobeLightroom, DCIM, GoPro Exports, Instagram, WhatsApp Images). But none of these show up in the picker:

enter image description here

I assume the main difference is that these folders are created by other apps. How do I make them show up in the picker?
