Where is the "Enter Custom..." option from the old Lightroom and how do we get it back (see attachments)? I like to make my photos 1080x1080 for Instagram and was able to do this in the LR Classic version.

I have had this issue for a while. In some instances I am using the feature in LR (Mac version) to crop an image to a specified pixel ratio. This is helpful (and somewhat necessary) for some blogs (mine for example, when I want to set a featured image for my self hosted WordPress blog) and it's convenient.
Now, as I am travelling, I am using the LR App (cloud) on iPhone and iPad for quick shots and quick edits. Great tool!! But I am missing just this feature. Right now, I am "eyeballing" it when cropping, but as there is a specified pixel ratio, I'd love to see this feature in the apps. I believe, it has been on the desktop version since the dawn of time.
Is it too difficult to implement it on the mobile version?

It's never been possible to crop to a specific pixel size in any version of Lightroom (cloud-centric or Classic), except by trial and error. All there here has ever been is the ability to crop to a specified pixel ratio, and that functionality exists in the LrMobile app as well as in Lightroom Desktop and Lightroom Classic.

The ability to crop to a specified pixel size has been requested many times over the years, so your post may be consolidated into an existing feature request thread.

Hi, saving a custom ratio would be cool.

Hi, I am often using the 65:24 crop format when editing my images. Unfortunately I can't do that in LR Mobile, because the format is not in the list. Therefore it would be great if you could add it!

Alternatively, being able to explicitly define custom crop formats (by typing in the numbers) would also work of course.

Hi! Mobile user here, as someone who loves cinematic aspect ratios, I hope a 21:9 aspect ratio option is coming to crop soon. Up until now I've had to use another app.

Thanks!

I started a post about this topic

(Custom ratio in lightroom mobile) in 2014. It was merged with this topic a few years(!) later. Forget it people, not in this live ...

Exactly. We need this on the mobile version too! Preferably faster than than the 3.5 years the desktop one took. 🙂

*greg_bergeron this post is about Lightroom Desktop (Cloud-based) and this is where it has been implemented. You'll need to find a Mobile app post or open a new one.

I’m grateful for the responses, but I am definitely not using whatever program you guys are showing me, because I cannot make a custom crop preset on my phone. I believe that is what everyone is here for, but please point me to the correct topic if I’m wrong.

@Rikk Thank you and the team for finally making this request a reality. Now all we need is the ability to do the same via mobile clients and I think this thread can officially be retired!

Okay, the hold-up is the update is available on the desktop app of Lightroom CC. I'm sure mobile will be coming out with it soon as well.
