Can't backup Mobile "Favorites" album in Immich Android App

In my mobile phone's stock Gallary app, I can mark photos as favorites. Photos marked as favorites are then added to an album called "Favorites". I can view the album within the same stock Gallary app.

However, in Immich Andorid app, the "Favorites" album does not appear in the "Select albums" dialog when configuring Backup. Immich Android app finds 18 albums, but "Favorites" is not one of them.

I tried increasing the verbosity of logging in Immich Android app but didn't spot any log that might explain this.

My intentions is to only backup photos that I marked as favorite in my phone to my Immich instance.

I am using a Xiaomi device running Android 15 (Xiaomi HyperOS 2..0.5.0).

Maybe the "Favorite" on my Phone is not made visable to other apps. Any suggestions on how to tackle this?
