Immich always asks for confirmation when deleting an image on android. How can I disable that behavior?
why is there no delete button for images/videos that are not yet uploaded? It’s annoyng to upload a huge video just to delete it. Why does the UI change dependent on the local/server status?

Before the item is uploaded there is an option to “delete from device”.

… Hidden in the three dot menu

I believe you need to choose “Always allow all” option in “Photos and videos” permission.

That is already set

Oh, right, sorry. I didn’t want to delete the app and reinstall it to find out which permission it was, so I just guessed from its existing permissions.

On my device the relevant toggle is located in Apps > Special app access > Media management apps.

Nice find! But that is also already toggled.

Weird. When I disabled that setting Immich started asking twice for deleting images. I turned it back on and it went back to normal.

Edit: I think I misunderstood your original question. Do you want Immich to not ask for confirmation at all when deleting things?

Yes! There is a trash in case I need an image back. At leats it should only ask once per session, not for every single image.

I don’t think that’s possible currently. It is probably worth discussing on GitHub.
