The bug
If you add a selection of images to an album but some were already in the album, some weren't; then it'll say "already in" as a toast regardless.
The OS that Immich Server is running on
Yunohost
Version of Immich Server
v2.7.5
Version of Immich Mobile App
2.7.5 build.3046
Platform with the issue
- Server
- Web
- Mobile

Reproduction steps
You have a selection of images, you add them to an album. Some of the images were already in the album, some weren't. You'll get the toast of "Already in ..[album name]" as if all the images you tried to were already in the album even when that's not true. This confused me for a while. It should somehow make it clear to the user that "some of the images were already in the album, but I added the ones that weren't now" but shorter/clearer somehow. But just saying "already in..." makes it seem like because some of the images in the selection were already in the album it did NOTHING even though it did.
This happened on mobile app, not sure about web.
