Originally created by @looowizz on GitHub (Sep 23, 2025).
I have searched the existing issues, both open and closed, to make sure this is not a duplicate report.
The bug
This is kind of two bugs in one, but they are very related. I'll make it as clear as i can :)
First, I select photos from a shared album, owned by another user. Then, when trying to add these to an album the following happens:
This only happens on the mobile app (only tested on android, might not be an issue on ios). The webapp correctly states "Assets cannot be added to the album".

Hi @looowizz, I’m interested in working on this task. Could you please confirm if there is a monetary reward for completing it?
@zackpollard commented on GitHub (Sep 24, 2025):
We do not allow monetary rewards to be applied to issues in our repo, so no, there will be no reward for working on this issue.
@tysoncung commented on GitHub (Oct 21, 2025):
This sounds like a useful feature! I'd be interested in contributing to this. Could you provide more details about the expected behavior and any specific requirements or constraints?
@nrother commented on GitHub (Oct 21, 2025):
I think the best way is to try it out yourself, it is kind of hard to describe... Basically it looks like a problem in error handling: When trying to add an asset which is shared to you (so is not your own asset) to an album the mobile app incorrectly shows "Asset already in album", while the web version correctly shows "Assets cannot be added to the album". The latter is correct, since you cannot add assets shared to you to other albums.
It looks like the mobile app is somehow assuming the only possible error is "already in album".
(Unrelated to this: I wonder why you are not allowed to add shared assets to you own album, but that is a different issue)
@nwpulverizer commented on GitHub (Dec 1, 2025):
I am running into this issue as well. If the album is shared, why can't the other user add the shared asset to their own album? They could download it then upload it to their own anyways. Why prevent this?
@bmadzinski commented on GitHub (Jan 23, 2026):
What is the expected behavior? Just different error message? Or adding this photo to user's photos and then to the album?
@looowizz commented on GitHub (Jan 23, 2026):
The expected behaviour, for me, is mostly just showing the correct error message. But also, when adding to a new album, the app should not think that it has successfully done this and show the photo in the album, when this has not actually taken place (as seen on the web app).
@SubodhDahal commented on GitHub (Feb 1, 2026):
In my opinion, if I allow someone access to an album that I own, they should be able to add photos from that album to a new album. And if at some point I remove access to the original album, they should cease having access to the photos from the original album.
If this causes complications with the permissions model, perhaps we could make it so that the assets can be only be added to another album also owned by the owner of those assets.
--
I have a usecase where I shared lots of photos and videos from an event with someone, and we want to short-list them into another album for printing. Currently, they aren't able to add the photos I shared with them to a new album. They tried it using the iOS app where they get "already in the album" error.
@looowizz commented on GitHub (Feb 1, 2026):
I totally agree, but I think that is a separate issue. I was just reporting that, for the current feature set, the appropriate error was not shown and there was inconsistency between what was shown in the app and what actually happened server-side.
