The bug

Hi all,

I've noticed that any photo I receive on WhatsApp and upload to Immich via the mobile app seems to be missing its timezone information inside Immich. When I view the photo in the web interface, its timestamp is always displayed in UTC, but if i open the photo from the mobile app i get the correct one.

In my .env file, I have set the timezone to Europe/Rome. Shouldn't the web interface display the photo's time using this configured timezone instead of UTC?
