Wrong time on observation on iPhone

Platform: iNaturalist

App version number, if a mobile app issue: 1.0.22

Browser, if a website issue:

URLs (aka web addresses) of any relevant observations or pages:

Screenshots of what you are seeing:

Picture 1: (The time is correct when uploading the observation, but after refresh it changes to “04:14 CEST”, see next picture)

Picture 2: (After refresh)

Picture 3: (Same when you enter observation)

Picture 4: (When you edit observation, you can see the time is the same as I chose. Also correct on computer on web browser)

Description of problem:

If I upload an observation at 14:14 CEST (Stockholm +1), the time changes to 02:14 CEST after the upload/synchronization is completed and the page is refreshed. It appears as if the app interprets 14:14 (2:14 PM) as 02:14 AM instead (See Picture 1 and 2).

The same incorrect time is shown when entering and viewing the observation (see Picture 3).

However, if I edit the observation, the originally selected time (14:14) is correctly preselected (see Picture 4). The correct time is also displayed on the browser version on my computer. This indicates that the issue is only a visual/display bug in the mobile app.

Steps to reproduce:

Step 1:
Upload an observation on iPhone with a selected time between 13:00 and 23:59, for example 16:05. Press upload. During the upload process, the correct time is displayed (16:05 CEST). See Picture 1.

Step 2:
After the upload is completed, refresh the “My observations” list. The displayed time now changes from “16:05” to “04:05 CEST”, which is incorrect and exactly 12 hours earlier. See Picture 2

Did you take the photo within the app, or with another camera or camera app?

On this specific observation, I took the pictures with another camera, transferring to iPhone in post. But I can see other observations I took with iPhone’s built in camera app that has the same issue. I never use the camera within iNaturalist.

I had the same problem. Check the time settings on the camera, it may be on the wrong time zone. I hope this bug gets fixed

It’s all the same with all of my other observations captured with my iPhone so this bug has nothing to do with my camera.
