The bug

Missing option to add partner photos/videos to an album on iOS and Android versions of the app in 1.142.0.

On older versions (1.141.1 and older) when a user is viewing partner photos or videos a '+' icon would be shown at the top-right of the app to allow them to add the media to an album. This no longer appears.

Likewise, when on older versions, selecting multiple partner media allowed for the option to add these to an album. This no longer appears and the only options are to share or download.

The web app (latest version) still allows users to add partner media to albums when multi-selecting items.

The OS that Immich Server is running on

Ubuntu 22.04 arm64

Version of Immich Server

1.140.1

Version of Immich Mobile App

Reproduction steps

  1. Create two accounts (account 'A' & account 'B').
  2. Upload photos on account 'B'.
  3. Add account 'A' as a partner on account 'B'
  4. Account 'A' is not able to add photos from account 'B' to albums
    ...

Relevant log output

Additional information

Older apps (1.141.1 and older):

Plus icon visible when viewing partner photo circled in red:

Option to add opened partner media to album:

Able to add multiple partner media to album:

Image

Latest version (1.142.0):

Cannot add opened partner item to album.

Missing option to add multiple partner items to album:

The only way this is possible in 1.142.0 is by having partner media appear in the timeline, which is not always wanted.

Same here. But also on android mobile and on PC. The + Symbol disappeared.
To make it worse, it just happened when I was trying to convince my family to move from google to immich... did not end well 😀

My wife reported this is still an issue in the new 2.0.1. For us, this was THE killer feature of Immich. All family photos are available via Partner Sharing for her to make a family photo album.

My wife also reported this (yes, wifes are the goat): this is still an issue on 2.2.3 on the mobile Android app.

However, it is possible through the Web UI (on 2.2.3 also):

  • go to a shared album with partner,
  • select inside the album a photo taken by your partner,
  • select it, and click on the "+" icon on the upper right corner and choose "add to album" or "add to shared album" and choose the album you want.

If it is possible to have the same workflow on the mobile App (Android but I don't know if this issue exists on iOS?), it would be perfect.

By the way, a huge thank you to the Immich Team: even my wife and family said it is a great app, especially since the 2.X.X!

Same here, big thank you to everyone contributing to immich.

I really miss the ability to share my partner's photos from my phone, though.

@rixx commented on GitHub (Dec 10, 2025):

On the web UI with v2.3.1, I don't appear to be able to add partner photos to albums. Is there anything needed in terms of settings apart from having partner share open in both directions?

@silvester-pari commented on GitHub (Jan 1, 2026):

Also stumbled upon this in the Android app v2.4.1 - from inside the album it is not possible to add partner photos, however from the timeline (with partner photos displayed) one can add the photo(s) to the album. It seems that here the data does not include shared photos:
72a898d89d/mobile/lib/pages/album/album_asset_selection.page.dart (L71)

Having no idea about dart or mobile development, I asked Gemini and this is what it came up with, hopefully this is somewhat useful to point in the direct direction:

The issue appears to be caused by the query in watchAssetSelectionTimeline within mobile/lib/repositories/timeline.repository.dart.

Currently, it strictly filters assets using ownerIdEqualTo(fastHash(userId)), which limits the selection to only the current user's assets. To resolve this and allow adding partner photos, the repository method needs to be updated to accept a list of user IDs (including partners) and query for assets belonging to any of those users, effectively matching the logic used in watchMultiUsersTimeline.
