Description of problem: I was using the app normally throughout my day. After having 64 pending observations with images attached, I re-opened the app to add an image to create my 65th observation. However, when I opened the app it seemed to have reset itself - the green observation button showed the iNaturalist AI Camera (I always have the all observation options selected - in the second image I changed it back) and the photos were showing in grid view instead of list view. At some point, maybe my 5th time re-opening the app, it automatically logged me out saying that it thinks there is an issue that could be fixed by logging back in (forgot to screenshot).
In addition, all of my images from the pending upload observations were gone, just a phantom image box remained. When selected it gives you what you see in the final image that’s just a black screen. None of these observations with images could be uploaded, the first one gets stuck and never uploads. The only observations that could be uploaded were observations with only text and location (no images) and new observations I create normally.
I am not sure how to recreate this issue sadly. Lastly, I did not create any images using the in-app camera, just with my iPhone camera and then added later so I did not lose any images.
Edit: The fourth observation box in the first image (where the image box is outlined) is the only one I could upload since there was no image attached, just text and location.
