Please fill out the following sections to the best of your ability, it will help us investigate bugs if we have this information at the outset. Screenshots are especially helpful, so please provide those if you can. Platform (Android, iOS, Website): Android App version number, if a mobile app issue (shown under Settings or About): Browser, if a website issue (Firefox, Chrome, etc) : URLs (aka web addresses) of any relevant observations or pages: Screenshots of what you are seeing (instructions for taking a screenshot on computers and mobile devices: https://www.take-a-screenshot.org/): [Screenshot_20230418-203349_iNaturalist] Description of problem (please provide a set of steps we can use to replicate the issue, and make as many as you need.): It worked a bit earlier, but now, when I open INaturalist, the app crashes a few seconds after. I have restarted my phone but it didn’t solved the issue. I checked on the playstore, my application is up to date. Step 1: Step 2: Step 3:

That’s exactly what is happening to me. I hope it can be solved.

My App, like in your Screenshot, doesnt load any pictures. It doesnt crash though. (Version 1.28.15 (568))

Pictures are loading again, but not not recent thumbnails in the Activity tab. Ive tryed restarting the app and phone.

[image] pleary: Could you please check if pictures are loading now? One crash on the identify/identifications tab, after that it is loading normally, also the identify page.

It still crashes and the pictures are not displayed

Good news, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app, and now it seems to work!

Still no thumbnails on acivities from 1-3 hours ago, but new notifications coming in now do have thumbnails so i guess its probably fixed.

Exactly the same issue here. It happens during the ‘Clean Up’ phase for me.

Mine isn’t crashing, but it isn’t putting new entries in the activity feed in the app.

The lack of pictures is likely related to a bug that was live in our API for a couple hours today. Could you please check if pictures are loading now? Thanks!
