The bug

Sometimes, when launching the app, it acts as if there are no backup albums selected. Specifically:

  • The cloud upload icon in the top right hand corner doesn't have a badge
  • When clicking on the icon to open the backup screen, it shows "None selected" under backup albums.
  • There is a loading indicator on the Backup screen but nowhere else.

This behaviour is confusing for the user because it makes it seem like there aren't any backup albums selected, suggesting a potential loss of their configuration. It is also unexpected, because I would assume that the app would know immediately what albums are selected. Finally, it is especially frustrating when waiting for a number of photos to sync.

Reproduction steps

  1. Open the Immich app on Android

Relevant log output

I have removed references to remote libraries as they leak private information.

Additional information

The buggy state sometimes lasts for a few minutes, but sometimes resolves itself quickly. At other times, it doesn't happen at all and the app opens without experiencing this issue.

I have experienced this issue on multiple phones.
