delete clarification
Hey so I'm just trying to figure out how deleting images works here before I make any mistakes. From what I can gather:
If I delete in the immich mobile app what happens to it? The pop up says it will be deleted from immich and my device. Which sounds like it's deleting it from the server but chatter here seems to go against that.
If I delete my images in my phone's gallery app, it deletes it entirely from the phone, just leaving the server copy, yes? Will the app still show the image as on the server in the mobile app though? With the empty cloud icon.
If I delete it on the server will it delete it on the mobile app? I'm guessing not, but what I'm wondering then is will my phone try to reupload the image?
Thanks

Hi
Delete from the mobile app will present you 2 prompts, one from Immich and one from the operating system
The one from Immich will delete the photo on Immich server
the one from operating will remove the photo if it is on your device and in the native gallery
if you delete the photo from the web, it will only delete the photo on the Immich server
If you still feel like it is hard to understand, I encourage you to take a few test photo, upload them to Immich and experience with the deletion process
Okay got it. If I delete from the server and it's still on the phone what happens then?
If you have auto backup on, it will re-upload that photo
Thanks
