looks like this was fixed? time to close? observation with 4 photos loaded: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/48259123 possible bug fix in Android app: https://github.com/inaturalist/iNaturalistAndroid/commit/2552abc647193ba8d0cf2f130c03ab99411496df

Works fine with other images on your phone?

At some point the images get uploaded but with stripped metadata. I have emailed the log files and a sample image.

Thanks @iPhil , I was able to replicate the issue. I’ll let our Android developer know.

Yes, working for me in build 425.
