Wrong Immich date?
I got myself a new phone about a month ago. I moved the files from the old one to the new one using the built in android thingy. But I came across an issue. The photos got their dates messed up and appeared wrong in the gallery. So I looked online and some people suggested zipping the photos and extracting them on the new device. Which I did just now. This fixed the dates appearing in file browser, yet the photos still are appearing scrambled in the gallery.
Can either someone suggest a solution or can this be addressed with Immich? Every file browser displays the correct date, but both Immich and google gallery (the light weight one from play store, not preinstalled) display the dates wrong. My native gallery by Xiaomi displays the dates correctly.

I haven't uploaded those assets to the server yet. The behavior is exclusive to the mobile app.

[Issue] bug(mobile): Immich doesn't respect file datetime of images outside default gallery folder (immich-app/immich#12782)
Are people not migrating photos from their devices?
Ok. Breakthrough!!!! When uploaded to the server, the date shows correctly. So this issue only affects local albums
