Quick question. When taking photos with my spark, they don’t show up in app or on my phone, sometimes they appear 3-4 days later. Any ideas?

Probably the Gallery app not detecting them when they are downloaded.
Some gallery apps have a refresh option, some will refresh once each day when the phone isn’t busy (overnight).
Had this with an older phone.
Rebooting usually forces a successful gallery refresh, too.

Ah OK, will try that now. Fingers crossed.

That didn’t work, scratching my head over this. Been annoying me for a while. But really wanna see some shots I’ve taken today.
The refresh after a reboot isn’t instantaneous. It runs in background.
I never use the ones on the phone anyway. I always use the ones from the SD Card.
I’m not in the possession of a pc/laptop, I know it’s 2019, but hoping to get one soon. Hoping they come on phone soon.
I use an SD Card reader for the phone, too.

One of the reasons I rarely use the images the Go4 app downloads is because (for some annoying reason only known to DJI), the file names are close to gobbledygook, and I prefer the logical/sequential numbering on the SD Card.
You could use your phone’s file manager to navigate to where they should be …
INTERNAL MEMORY/DJI/DJI.GO.V4/DJI ALBUM
But file names are unintelligible …

Not bloody there. God knows what’s going on. Lol
Connect it all up and switch it on for a few minutes. Sounds like it hasn’t downloaded them and should sync them … hopefully.
No help immediately, but I do recommend getting one of these …
(Or the USB-C type if that’s what your phone is.)
I’ve got one similar. Will connect it up tomorrow. Hopefully be on there.

I’ve been having the same problems. Not sure if it’s related to the version of the app. Previously I’d take a photo or video and the standard version of it would save in the cache. It’s not doing it anymore… thought it might be an android thing but I used my new iPhone for the first time the other day and it didn’t save anything to the phone

Interesting that you’re experiencing the same on iOS.
On Android mine saves them OK, but on the phone that I use for the drone the gallery refresh isn’t that clever, and a reboot forces a refresh and then they’re there.
As I say - rarely bother using them from the phone, so it’s not something that worries me, but I do notice them not appearing in the gallery after the flight … and then they’re there.
I also seem to recall that when I got the MP there wasn’t the same delay. 
I’m on an old version of Go4, btw. 4.2.16
I’ve just checked - and the images from my last flight are not on the phone … not even when looking where they should be with the file manager. Hmmm.
I shall do some research.

And just like magic, mine are on the phone today. Very strange.

Had you reconnected to the MP since yesterday when you first posted?
