It’s much too easy to swipe left or right on the queued images or sequences to delete them. When I try to swipe up or down it has to be exactly straight up and down or otherwise it locks and swipes left or right.

I’ve noticed this as well, @Yaro would that be a straightforward adjustment to make?

Thank you for highlighting this, @dsdfidksmyw. I will take a look at the cause of that and address it :slight_smile:

I’m having issues with Importing images in the the app (2026.03.16-6.12.76), on my Samsung A53 after the latest set of updates (OneUI 8.0 / Android 16 / security correction level 5th of April 2026).

The app refuses the import images from the default Camera app, with the message (translated) :

  • Import have been completed, but some pictures were skipped over due to errors:
  • 3 pictures: gps-data missing

BTW, uploading the images through the Desktop uploader (5.0.3) works as expected.

Is this a known issue ?

Default setting for 1x vs .6x for shooting mode is removed? I think it was there before :thinking:

@brunofilmklov - do you think you could provide the original files so we can investigate (maybe via Google Drive, cc: @Yaro )

@ursus - are you saying you don’t see the .5x or .6x mode anymore? I still see it, so just wanted to confirm.

Ofcourse, see images in MapillaryAppImportBug (img1, img2, img3,img4, img5, img6) screenSelcet, screenErr:

@boris
I see .6x, but previously I think I had set 1x somewhere in settings to be default. Now when I open shooting mode, .6x is always selected and I need manually switch to 1x each time.

I see, thank you for the explanation @ursus - confirming that is a but that we will fix in the next release (we will remember your camera zoom preference) cc: @Yaro

Thank you @brunofilmklov - confirming that I can replicate the problem. We will work on a fix, in the meantime please continue to use the desktop uploader as a temporary workaround, thanks for your patience!

I currently on a hike tour in Turkey and found another issue:

In map view I see real imagery coverage, but in shooting mode coverage is completely different and looks more “perfect” like there are much more images. Here are screenshots from same location:

Some close-ups:

Ooops - that looks like an upcoming feature which is not quite done, ha ha. cc: @Yaro for the fix.

I made another thread without checking here, glad to see it’s being worked on. The app needs the MediaLocationPermission

Thank you for the message (and for the link). Indeed, Google provided security patch to block location access in files through SAF. Thus, those who received this update cannot import images anymore (for newer devices). We are planning to include it in the next release.
