P: LrM Photos are pixelated, and appear as big square pixels in Edit

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.

    Greetings all,

    Adobe Lightroom Mobile product updates are released. The September Lightroom Android release (11.6) contains an update regarding this issue. 

Updates will be available via the App Store. Note that it can take several days for some customers to receive a notification of an available update via their App Store.

    Thank you for being so patient.

    Hi ​@Jemi77, Thanks for reaching out! What version of LrM are you using? Have you tried updating your app and your OS? Some users have been able to solve this with an update.^CH

    Hey, ​@Ambrosial_vibrancy3ba4. Thanks for the comment. The original issue in this thread has been resolved in recent updates. Could you provide the exact versions of the Android OS and Lightroom mobile that you are using?

     

    Thanks!

    This issue continued happening on my Pixel 10 Pro XL after the update but clearing the app cache and storage fixed the issue for me.

    I am also affected since today (Google Pixel 10 Pro). I think my phone made an upgrade over night and since then it’s broken.

    I also have a Pixel 10 Pro and am having the same issue. I have tried JPG and RAW photos and they are both broken.
