[BUG] Collections Wrong on Android app, Correct Everywhere Else

Plex Players

Server Version#: 4.159.0
Player Version#: 2026.5.0 (971050077)

Seems that on Android Apps, Collections show all their items in the Browse tab, regardless of what settings are configured for each Library on Plex Media Server, while the Collections have gone missing on the Browse tab.

I have configured each Library to show Collections on the Browse tab, and then hide those individual items in Collections from the Browse tab. This works correctly on Plex Web, Plex Media Server, Android TV, and Samsung TVs, but not the Android mobile app.

This looks like a new bug - items in Collections show on the Browse tab, while the Collections do not show in the Browse tab. The exact opposite of what has been configured for each library on Plex Media Server.

For reference, this does not appear to be an isolated issue: others are reporting the same problem on Reddit:

This has been fixed with 2026.7.0 which is currently in the beta channels.
I guess it’ll be released to the public soon unless there’s some significant issue with the beta.

Thank you very kindly for the help - it is reassuring to know that this was not a new design, but rather a bug which will be fixed soon. Really appreciate the helpful response.
