Thanks for writing in, this is a known bug which hasn’t been fixed yet: [https://github.com/inaturalist/INaturalistIOS/issues/542](https://github.com/inaturalist/INaturalistIOS/issues/542) For now, tapping “Done” will remove the photo and get you back to the Details screen: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/inaturalist/original/2X/7/70a90b4ccd9aec081d9ed21c5b17ba313af28e2c.jpeg) ---

I have the same problem on iOS but there is no Done button to push, just what you see in the screen shot. I’m glad it’s been reported. ---

This is how I interpret your descripttion of the problem: “Step 1: Add photos to an observation.” I would take an existing observation and tap on the “+” button on the observation’s Details screen to add a photo: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/inaturalist/original/2X/7/73a5d9893b2a15bd310fcc32d3fe88f53a63a510.jpeg) “Step 2: Click on a photo.” ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/inaturalist/original/2X/5/5c465f13c4e865a516e3879016ed3ab39b7f2e03.jpeg) When I do that, I see this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/inaturalist/original/2X/d/d3dbc53128f1684891f4387eb14b92b2e64f7f56.jpeg) If this isn’t what you’re doing, please provide a detailed set of steps and screenshots I can try to replicate. ---

This has been fixed in version 3.2.2, which was just released. ---
