The bug

I've uploaded some photos via a public upload link in a album.
Now I've deleted these photos in my web app, but there still listed in the android app. Looks like that only the thumbnails are still there. Also deleting them on the android app is not working.

Photos are listed:

But when clicking on them:

There seems to be a syncing issue in the mobile app that we are yet to find the root cause for. As a workaround, can you try pulling down twice from the main timeline of the mobile app. Or you can log out and log back in

@shenlong-tanwen Actually, if the assets are deleted permanently, it doesn't make it into the audit table. If it is soft deleted, then the app can see the changes.
