Hi,  
We have a mobile app where users can upload images. When users try to upload more than roughly 19 images, the app crashes and reloads. Here is a video that shows first the unexpected behavior with 21 images, and then the expected behavior with 11 images: [QuickTime Player - ScreenRecording\_04-17-2026 15-40-24\_1.MP4 - 17 April 2026 | Loom](https://www.loom.com/share/54f1e1b51dad4b5f9293b92d3cf2bff0)

Several users have reported that they can only upload 19 images. We recreated the issue on an iPhone 17 Pro Max with iOS 26.3.1 (a), using the app as an installed PWA.

The upload action:

Hi, Kristian

Sorry about the very late response!

I would think the total image size in this operation would be too large, and the upload image action node would time out. Do you see any correlation with total image size as well as image count?

What is interesting is that no error message appears in the client devtools, even if the action node “fails”. Do you have any cases where an error message does appear in the client devtools?

Hi Nikoline,

The total image size is probably a good guess!  
I have not seen any errors in the client devtools.

Hi, Kristian

Thank you for confirming no error message. If I can reproduce it, I will note this with the devs team 👍  
Have a nice day!
