The bug

Setting the date format for the application doesn't actually change the way the application handles dates.

Instead of showing the date format and date format selectors in the selected date format, they are always shown as dd/mm/yyyy

The OS that Immich Server is running on

Ubuntu

Version of Immich Server

v.1.129.0

Version of Immich Mobile App

v.1.0.0

Platform with the issue

  • Server
  • Web
  • Mobile

Your docker-compose.yml content

NA

Your .env content

NA

Reproduction steps

  1. Set the language in Account settings to be Swedish

Image
Note the Date-format
2. Try to filter on said date format

Image

Note that it's dd/mm/yyyy

Which is not the date format set.

It's the same when trying to change a date on a file.

@YarosMallorca commented on GitHub (Mar 9, 2025):

I'll take a look at how the date inputs work, because I have the opposite issue, I want it to be dd/mm/yyyy, but even though I have locale set to Spanish, it is in mm/dd/yyyy.
