Since last couple of months whenever I try to edit the photos on my phone (Lightroom) It's very squareish and pixelated.

All the photos are fine but when I try to edit it goes In o this(screenshot attached)

I'm not sure what's the issue. Looking forward to the help.

    The latest lightroom update, released a few days back fixed it on my pixel pro 10xl

    Hey, ​@Nimbos, ​@Ross2511000501vd, & ​@Manan301899955n8n. I’ve shared this with the team for review. 


    Does this happen with recently imported images? Do you also use Lightroom on any other surfaces, and Lightroom Classic? Do these images appear normally after a while? 

     

    Please record your screen when you see this issue, and share the video with us.

    Thanks!

    It dosen’t heppen with the lightroom in laptop (windows & mac) it’s only happening with the mobile only. I’m using pixel 10 pro XL for reference.

    It’s happening with all the images. and no it’s not an network issue as well or loading issue. I can edit images and can see the preview when I go to export and add frames from the settings, I can preview the image edited with frame. I’ll add the video shortly.

    I am getting exactly the same.

    Force stop and restart makes no difference. 

    Lightroom and phone gallery pictures act the same, so it's not a cloud/download issue.

    App now entirely unusable!

    Only occurs in LR mobile (I'm android)

    LR and LrC on pc are fine

    Happens with old and new pictures, Lightroom or Gallery.
