The bug

I am using the latest Immich iOS app, and have the server running the latest version on my TrueNAS install.

I have the “Sync Albums” feature turned on in the mobile app. After turning this on it created the selected albums on the server as expected.

The problem is with the “Favorites” album - when I have a photo that is already on the server, that I later add to favorites on my iPhone, the app will not update the favorites album on the server. Pressing “Organize into albums” on the mobile app doesn’t seem to trigger any actions, but I do see an error pop up in the logs:

Ah I see there is a related feature request: #1669.

Is the log error a red herring, and this is a missing feature, not a bug in the app?

If so, what does the “Organize into albums” button do in backup settings?
