The bug

When scrolling on Google photos, the scrolling is extremely smooth even when scrolling too fast for full thumbnails to load. On Immich this is very laggy. Granted I have 100k photos, so not sure if that's the issue but it should still work. Attached a screen recording of me scrolling at a constant speed, and the laggy scrolling is clearly visible.

What device are you using? Try enabling "prefer remote images" in the advanced settings.

@maltokyo how many albums do you have? Did you start scrolling right away when you first open the app?

The stuttering is due to the albums sync mechanism compete with the UI thread, after the albums sync finished, it will be smoother.

Regardless, we have plan to optimize this process for a better user experience

Thank you for the replies. Yes I used a script to make albums from about 1000 folders. So, many albums. But immich has been installed for weeks. So I thought it maybe has had enough time to scroll correctly. Thanks for the news on optimizing this.

@maltokyo the sync here check for the diff with the server, adding and removing assets on the mobile...etc, basically expensive operations that can be taxing for the client, and it runs when opening the app and after some certain actions.

@Mitmischer commented on GitHub (Oct 6, 2024):

I'd also like to help debug this issue. For me the experience is even worse - the app takes a long time to load and becomes completely frozen for multiple seconds sometimes, most often directly after starting while synchronization takes place. Having "remove images preferred" activated at this point doesn't help, but it helps later during normal use. Maybe it's also my device but it should be that out-of-date and slow yet (Snapdragon 845, no SD card). I have ~23000 photos and 1500 videos totaling 32 GB.

Thanks for the hard work, for the rest I can only agree - Immich is amazing!

Probably related: #11113

I experience the same issue. So far, I had attributed this to the age of my phone, but I just upgraded and still suffer from a laggy UI.

~ 20 seconds after opening the app, it becomes very fluid and responsive, corroborating the statement that this is connected to the synchronization.

Please let me know if you need more data.

I experience the same thing on iOS. Did not have this issue until I imported a Google Takeout which added a ton of albums. Which, I only have 133 albums, which doesn’t sound like a ton.

@orywig yeah the album sync is causing the competition with the UI thread at the moment. The looping over albums and each assets to calculate which one need to be add/delete/update is quite taxing, so we are working towards a fix

Until the team can resolve this issue, has anyone here found a temporary resolution or workaround? The lag while the albums are syncing is quite impactful to the user experience; especially when remote and this is happening across the internet. I can't think of anything besides just cleaning up and removing any unnecessary albums to shorten the sync time.

I don't believe the full cause of this issue is albums syncing. I open up the app, wait 5 mins on the startup position, just taping the screen every so often so the phone doesn't go to sleep, after the 5 mins are up I start scrolling and it still crashes.

Same issue here, also Pixel 8 Pro. Had it in Android 14, have it in 15. I have approx. 120.000 images in daily folder on external folders, also used that script to create albums from folders.

I noticed this: When I scroll down, the app is stuttering. Let's accept that for now and scroll BACK again. Also stuttering.

Using mobile browser instead, or on desktop computer, all is fine.

The App is excluded in DNS66 adblocker VPN.

No new photos were added for some days.

Hmm, this is very odd; I tested my 80_000 assets library on a Pixel 8 and Galaxy 23 and cannot cause it to crash or stutter after the assets and album are synced. There is some janking when the bucket is loaded in. I wonder if there is some specific photo that the app cannot read and cause the crash 🤔

Could it be that I'm using an external script to create albums from each
folder in the external library? That has created 1000s of albums.

cannot read and cause the crash 🤔

I can confirm I have 3022 albums. My external folder is just a rsync from my Mac, and there the photos are organized by a schema
{$year} / {$year_$month_$day___Some_Nice_Description}

Edit: …and I have two external folders, because I use an app on my phone to rsync ~/DCIM/Camera to the server for backup purposes. Those second folder is not sorted into albums.

Later, I move the photos to my Mac, clean them up, and then they get rsync'd to the „real“ folder and end up in real albums.

@ldandersen commented on GitHub (Nov 6, 2024):

I have a library of 50000+ photos (with only a few albums and basically a pretty stock Immich server installation), and can confirm that for me the app has become borderline unusable on iOS. Web interface works like a champ on both mobile and desktop.

Disabling sync does seem to mitigate the problem, which seems to point (as some above have speculated) to the issue being the sync process blocking the main thread--for seemingly up to 10-20 seconds at a time on a library as large as mine. If this is true, it's definitely not a sustainable way to approach the sync process.

Anyway, pretty bummed because this is the first real issue I've had with what is otherwise an absolutely stellar project!

Just to add feedback: Me, huge collection, many albums, doesn't use sync.

I am syncing the photos from my smartphone with a different app to a different place, then I tag & sort & fix them manually on my computer, then I rsync the fine result to my webserver, and that folder then is mounted into immich as an external dir.

So, I neither upload manually via app/web, nor I use syncing in the app. Just a mounted folder that's changing ~once a month.

(and: I totally agree this project is shocking great!)

I understand that measuring RAM in debug mode isn't exactly shows real usage but still it is alarming.

As i see from previous replies albums are the case here. Does this issue in active development now or can I look into it?

Also, no actual sync is running atm in my side - everything ist already processed. Still happens, mobile (Android) app only.

I am on a Redmi 10, Android. On my side, the app gets laggy until freezing/stuck. Up to unusable at this point, sadly. Happens in all views, also normal timeline, albums, images/auto created albums per (recognized) persons etc ...

Are there any more specific time plans or feedback for @Mitmischer and in General, regarding this, beides "near future" @alextran1502 ?

My wife's phone is a Galaxy S20+ with around 35k assets. We've also got a few other family members (all on Samsung devices) running into the same issue: freezes at startup whenever sync is enabled.

I’ve tried the usual steps: clearing data, uninstalling/reinstalling the app… but the moment sync kicks in, it only runs for a few seconds before freezing during the asset check. The app stays unresponsive for about 1–2 minutes before it recovers.

We're all on the latest version (1.131), and right now this is a major blocker for wider adoption in my circle.

Happy to help troubleshoot, just ping me here or on Discord if you want me to test things or send over some debug info.

Seems to be related with #13631

Unfortunately, none of my "users" use immich any more, due to the poor performance (with many albums) on the mobile app. They stick with their google photos / icloud photos etc.. which is sad for me to see.

@alextran1502 is there any help we can give, testing something new, or otherwise. It appears this could be a pretty big hurdle for user adoption here.

The current album sync process is running on the main thread due to its complexity and causing the UI to stutter

My current workaround while we wait for the rewrite is to use the web app for the UI and the actual app in the background only.
By accessing the URL in chrome on mobile and install that, I now have two immich "apps": the real one which does the work and gets laggy, and the web thing for the ui.

Hi! Same issue (1.132.3), S23+ (SD 8 Gen 2, 8GB RAM) , 750 albums, 24000 photos, 1000 videos roughly. App is unusable.

Current work around for me is to downgrade all the way back to 1.122.3 and disable auto-update in Play Store (ref: https://github.com/immich-app/immich/issues/14841#issuecomment-2557995492)

After downgrading to 1.122.3 following was observed:

  • Once sync is completed app can be used without the debilitating lag unless something major changes in the library
  • Albums don't go into an insane sync loop and lock everything up every startup.
  • Assets from phone gallery show up instantly in 1.122.3 once permission is granted in 1.132.3 they take for ever to show up
  • There is something in 1.122.3 that just works, swiping down on photos the animations work well too on 1.132.3
  • I notice in 1.122.3 is that it caches more aggressively where as 1.132.3 barely passes 50MB. I personally prefer aggressive caching but then I have 512GB of storage. This could be placebo, but it's what I notice.

I will be sticking to 1.122.3 until further notice as it's relatively feature complete for my use case.

P.S: Thank you for the brilliant project, and giving freedom from big brother. Looking to purchase it in full soon 💖

@akay64 commented on GitHub (May 21, 2025): Hi! Same issue (1.132.3), S23+ (SD 8 Gen 2, 8GB RAM) , 750 albums, 24000 photos, 1000 videos roughly. App is unusable. Current work around for me is to downgrade all the way back to [1.122.3](https://github.com/immich-app/immich/releases/tag/v1.122.3) and disable auto-update in Play Store (ref: https://github.com/immich-app/immich/issues/14841#issuecomment-2557995492) After downgrading to 1.122.3 following was observed: - Once sync is completed app can be used without the debilitating lag unless something major changes in the library - Albums don't go into an insane sync loop and lock everything up every startup. - Assets from phone gallery show up instantly in 1.122.3 once permission is granted in 1.132.3 they take for ever to show up - There is something in 1.122.3 that just works, swiping down on photos the animations work well too on 1.132.3 - I notice in 1.122.3 is that it caches more aggressively where as 1.132.3 barely passes 50MB. I personally prefer aggressive caching but then I have 512GB of storage. This could be placebo, but it's what I notice. I will be sticking to 1.122.3 until further notice as it's relatively feature complete for my use case. --- P.S: Thank you for the brilliant project, and giving freedom from big brother.

It's not resolved, as it says I closed it as a duplicate.

Thank you @bo0tzz , please could you paste the link to the other issue so I can track it there. Maybe it's just not showing in the movie app but I can't see it. Thank you.

It seems a lot of duplicates has been closed but some are not duplicates actually...
The freeze and lags due to sync on Android are pretty specific I guess (but I may be wrong). It also renders the app unusable on pretty much all Android phones (at least Samsung) without any way to make it work.
This issue contains a lot of infos compared to other issues

Regardless, it's still better to centralize comments. Also, it automatically links this issue for any further information retrieval.
