Troubleshooting

”Failed to load album details” error

Check your internet connection. The album data is fetched from the server. Tap Retry or navigate back and re-enter the album.

Photos not appearing after upload

Uploads may take a few seconds to process. Wait for the upload indicator to complete. If photos still do not appear, scroll down and pull up to refresh the photo grid.

Video thumbnails not generating

Video thumbnails are generated on the client side. On some devices, thumbnail generation may fail. The video will still be playable — tap the video area to start playback.

Cannot edit or delete the album

Edit and delete buttons are hidden in restricted mode (view-only access). Check if you have organizer permissions for this event.

Photo zoom not working

Ensure you are tapping the photo to open full-screen mode first. Pinch-to-zoom is only available in the full-screen PhotoView, not in the grid thumbnail.
