report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:
The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 210822A
85 s after the BAT trigger (Page et al., GCN Circ. 30677).
A fading source consistent with the XRT position (Page et al.
GCN Circ. 30677) and the previously reported UVOT source is
is detected in the initial UVOT exposures.
Preliminary detections and 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT photometric system
(Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373) for the early exposures are:

The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction
due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.162 in the direction of the burst
(Schlegel et al. 1998).
