Android App - Manual Refresh to Show New Photos

Hello! Background sync is working great. When I take a photo or video, I can see it in the web interface shortly there after. In the android app, however, I need to manually refresh (pull down to refresh) in order for anything new to show up for viewing in the app. This happens even though the app has already backed up new files.

Is this normal behavior? Is there a way to have it refresh when opening the app? Do I need to turn on foreground backup? I don't necessarily want it to backup when I open the app, just show me new media files.
