Observation photographs are not deduplicated when uploaded by the Android app

@fffffffff

Photos are linked only if you duplicate observation.

actually, i don’t think this is true in the Android app. i noted this in another post:

@pisum

When I duplicate via the Android app, it seems to create an entirely new photo record (by uploading a copy of the photo) to go with the new observation record. So it’s not possible in the latter case to see that a photo is linked to 2 different observations. Also, the new photo record lacks the metadata from the original record, and it may be a smaller version of the photo as well.

that said, i’m not sure if this is a bug or a design choice.
