Photos from observations dissapeared

Noticed a few times that my photos, previously identified are missing photos, I noticed this can happen sometimes during upload from the phone but some were identified, so there had to be photo, like this one for instance
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/22143732. What happened and how can I avoid it?
Thank you

I don’t really understand what happens, but missing photos have been brought up in other topics, such as https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/broken-photo-link-observations-are-still-needs-id/5550 and https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/many-older-observations-without-photos-when-clearly-there-used-to-be/5900. Maybe they will help.

@fero did you ever edit this observation after you posted it, aside from adding an ID? We don’t see a record of a photo being attached to it i the last two months of logs.

Looks like this was through the Android app - if you experience this issue again you can follow the instructions for submitting log files to the developers here: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/about-the-bug-reports-category-please-read-before-posting/60 That will help with troubleshooting.
