The bug

When opening the immich app in the morning, the memories are often still the ones from the day before.
Closing and opening via back button also does not trigger the app to update the memories.
I need to really close swipe the app via "app manager" for it to reload today's memories.
Happens not every day, but most of the days.

The OS that Immich Server is running on

PiOS

Version of Immich Server

V1.141.1

Version of Immich Mobile App

V1.141.1 3013

Platform with the issue

  • Server
  • Web
  • Mobile

Device make and model

Oneplus 8 android 13

Your docker-compose.yml content

Reproduction steps

  1. Wait for new day, eg 7am
  2. Open immich app
  3. Memories are from the day before
  4. Close app via back button
  5. Reopen from launcher
  6. Still outdated memories
  7. Close immich via task manager and swipe
  8. Reopen via launcher
  9. Memories are now from the current day
    ...

Relevant log output

Logs look the same to me before/after force closing, screenshots below

Can you double check your server and app versions?

Checked and they are correct. I'm on the latest version of both:

Memory on iOS also does not get refreshed every day until the app is restarted (1.142)

If web is affected, then you have a different issue (maybe in addition to this one).
See "Resume all paused jobs" section in release notes for v1.142.0

I Just checked and the button Its not showing up in my jobs page. Does that means that every job of my immich server is unpaused?
I also looked the database out of curiosity and every memory related table is empty, kinda weird.

Yes.
You can double check at http://localhost:2283/api/jobs for any paused queues or waiting jobs.
Make sure you have the Memory feature enabled (it is by default).
You can also check system-metadata table in the DB: if it has a record/timestamp for recent memories generation.

If that does not help, I suggest to create a separate Q&A discussion (or on Discord #help-desk-support) to investigate it further and avoid mixing two issues in this thread.

Oh nice, i figured it out!

In the system_metadata table the value for the memories-state key was "lastOnThisDayDate": "2025-09-25T00:00:00.000Z", so i put it back to 2025-09-16T00:00:00.000Z, run manyally the memory generation job and all the memories reappeared!

Thanks a lot!

I can confirm this. I had this problem earlier with the beta timeline but that got fixed. It was fixed in https://github.com/immich-app/immich/pull/21623, but the problem is back again.

I'm using Android and the server and app are up to date. Not sure if it's related, but in GMT +9:00.

This is still an issue. Both server and mobile app are on 2.0.1. I haven't had this issue before beta timeline.

Yes. I still have to kill the app to get new memories. Latest app and server version on Samsung S23, Android 15.

Yes, still but there is no need to kill app, just switch to Search, Albums or Library and back to Photos.

Yep, still a problem. Thanks for this idea. Switching to Library and back is quicker then killing the app 👍

I have this exact issue. Currently running Immich (server) v2.2.3 with iOS app 2.2.3 build.235 on iOS 26.1. Daily open, quit, and reopen is my workaround routine.

Turns out I also still have the problem. Not sure why it was fine for some time, but now it's back reliably every day. But there's a somewhat easy fix for me on android: open the app and press photos, although you're already in photos. This seems to trigger a memory update and all shows fine.

@bo0tzz Is there some routine that triggers on pressing photos tab but not on opening the app? Sounds like a route to a fix to me
