The bug

Some photos in my album appear duplicated — they look identical, but only one photo exists on the main “All Photos” page.
If I delete one of the duplicates from the album, both copies disappear at the same time.

This issue has happened twice so far.

If I delete one of the duplicates from the album, both copies disappear at the same time.

Can you check your database please?

docker exec -it immich_postgres psql --dbname=immich --username=postgres

Then run the query:

SELECT "albumId", "assetId", COUNT(*) 
FROM "album_asset" 
WHERE "albumId" = '<your-album-id>' 
GROUP BY "albumId", "assetId" 
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1;

To find the album ID, you can list albums:

SELECT id, "albumName" FROM album WHERE "deletedAt" IS NULL ORDER BY "createdAt" DESC LIMIT 10;

This shows any duplicate (albumId, assetId) pairs across the album. If this returns rows, there are duplicate entries in the database (which shouldn't happen due to the primary key constraint). If it returns no rows, the issue is likely in the UI layer.

Same issue with 2.5.2 (server and mobile app).

Not sure if that is related but so far all duplicated photos were taken and uploaded when travelling in a different timezone. Also, the mobile app displays them under wrong days. In some cases even two different days, e.g. a photo with a time stamp 30/12/2025 4:54pm +09:00 is shown/duplicated in 1/1/2026 and 2/1/2026.

The same album is displayed in the web app without duplicates and is grouped by days matching the photo timestamps.

@andrzej-r if you clear the app data (assuming you are on Android) and let the device reindex, do you still see the issue?
