Recent app upgrade on android.  Now, on tapping "scan a receipt" I am taken to my photo library and the scanning function seems to no longer exist.  Tried deleting cache and data - didn't help.  Uninstalled and then reinstalled the app - still no ability to scan a receipt.  Phone is Pixel 8Pro will all recent android updates.  Any suggestions much appreciated.
