Editing the description of a photo is only visible in the App after manual refresh

[MexHigh]

The bug

When editing the description of a photo, it is not shown in the apps timeline (Android) instantly. Only a manual refresh pulls the description.

This also happens, when the description is added in the same app the image is examined on: the description just vanishes again until a manual refresh of the timeline.

Reproduction steps

1. Set a description on the latest photo in the timeline (either on web or mobile, does not matter), close the image
2. Open the edited image on mobile
3. Description is not there
4. Pull down the timeline for manual refresh (Android)
5. Open image again
6. Description is there!

This even happens if you set the description on the app, then close the information dialogue and open the image again: The description is gone, since it was only updated on the server.

Relevant log output

Nothing relevant found, neither in-app nor on the server.
