P: Tif smart previews not updated in develop mode in mobile

Ok first the setup:
I start with LR Classic (in a shared album, smart-previews in the cloud) and send a RAW to Photoshop, after I'm done with my edit the saved tiff gets added my LR classic and automatically added to the shared album as a smart-preview too (thats nice).

In LR Mobile I can see my edit in develop mode and in the preview, so far so good.

Then later I continue working on that tiff (sending it to Photoshop via LR Classic again, so LR gets the update). And it does get the update, LR classic shows the changes I have done.

Back to mobile, here I get the old version in develop mode, the preview thumbnail gets updated to the new version, if I open the tiff smart-preview into activity, rating, or info view, I see the updated version as it should be.

But if I get into develop mode in LR mobile, it shows the current version (as it should be), but only for a second and then switches to the version that was first shared when I saved the first edit (that is now outdated and not what LR classic shows or whats actually in that file).

If I switch from develop to the activity, rating, or info views it remains the incorrect older version, If I get back and go into activity, rating, or info view directly without going through develop, its the current version as it should be again.

Biggest problem, on export I always get the old outdated version of this photo, even if I don't export out of the develop mode view.

Now even Lightroom Classic is doing this, when viewing the image it's updated, if I enter the develop module in LR Classic it shows the old (first version) of the Tif file.

@Todd Shaner @Rikk Flohr: Photography 

 

Here we are 3 years later and this is still not working? Do you have any updates on the issue?

Also not really a fix (not even a usable workaround) if I have to redownload more that 10k photos for local storing after deleting my cache.

That option has been off for me all along. But those files are just smart previews so it shouldn't change anything.

I might have fixed it. I went to Preferences, and unchecked only download smart previews. Then I cleared my cache in Device info and storage 

I'm on a Galaxy S21 with no SD card, so it stores locally.

Yep! That's exactly what happens. And it's been a year...

It shows the newly edited version and then reverts back to the unedited version immediately. I have screenshots showing showing. 

I can't upload to Instagram now
