P: Focus settings while using flash in dark in Professional Mode

Hi!

I am using the Lightroom app on my iPhone to take photos. I usually like taking them in the professional mode. I recently encountered an issue when I am taking photos at night using flash, when I set the focus myself, it will change on its own like it's in auto mode, and usually not to where I would set the focus myself lol. 
is there any way to make this stop happening or what's going on? I love the app a lot and this has been my only issue.

thanks!!

Are you using tap to focus, or the manual focus slider?

In a dark room, tap to focus might be override by the camera assessing scene lighting.  I'll explore this and log a bug as necessary.  If you are indeed trying tap to focus, as a work-around try the manual focus slider that highlights focused items with a green outline.

I am using the manual focus slider, and selecting a number from 0-100, which then keeps being changed but only when I use flash at night 🙂 (not sure if it would happen using flash with light out as I don't really ever do that )
