The bug

If I download a photo from the Immich app to my Android phone and then delete the photo locally from the Android phone, the photo thumbnail disappears from the Immich app.

This is how it looks on the Android app once the photo has been deleted locally:

Ideally Immich should display the thumbnails of photos which have been backed up on the server, even though their downloaded copies have been deleted locally from the Android phone.
