Android APP Photo Preview Refreshing Issue

[EricChan1989]

The bug

Dear Developer,

I am using the latest version of Immich Android APP.
What I experience which can be a bug or can be improved is that I believe there is no need to keep refreshing the preview photo list each time we come back from a 1 photo/video view.

If it is hard to understand what I said above, please find the situation below.

1. When we open the android APP and after login, we are at the photo preview list which we can see a number of photos/videos, right? It may take a bit time for all the preview images/thumbnails to be downloaded.
2. If we click on a single photo/video to open it, and then get back to the preview list in step 1, I can see all the photos/thumbnails are loaded again, which makes the experience not good.
3. Is it possible to keep the cache for the photos/thumbnails for a while and then it has no need to be downloaded again from the server side?

Thanks.

I can't reproduce the problem.
Could it be that you enabled loading of original Image?
Application - Settings - Asset Viewer - Is Load Original Image enabled?
