Library not showing Albums on device is backup not active

Hi,

I'm having a question about the Android app.
When I go to 'Library' I see 'Albums on device', but I don't see the folders.

I only see them, if I also enable the backup to the server... But, I wouldn't want all my useless WhatsApp group photos etc. being backed up.. But I would love to be able to see the folders in the Library -> Albums on device.

Is there a way to enable this in another way, or is this something for a feature request? (or am I just having bad luck?)

Thanks!
