I am very used to using the volume-up button to take a picture in Apple's Photo app.  I would love very much to have the same ability in the Lightroom Mobile app.

I'd delete my above comment if I could.  Printdevil just confirmed that the volume buttons now do control the shutter release.  THANK YOU ADOBE!!!

AWESOME! Thanks, I was incorrect.  I was going off the announcement I read on Adboe blogs  where it didn't say anything about it:  http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2016/12/lightroom-mobile-december-releases.html

yes, Yes, YES! 

Adobe listened and they delivered! I'm delighted that in the v2.6.0 released today (8 Dec 2016) the volume buttons on iOS now control the shutter button and my remote shutter also works.

Well done, I'm over the moon.

...now to explore the other features they have implemented.

Another Lightroom Mobile update, and yet again no volume button shot capability.  This sure seems like one of the easier things to add to the app. And would be a real crowd pleaser.  I simply cannot use Lightroom Mobile without it, as I am sure every street photographer will tell you.  And since street photography is one of the biggest genres of photography on the iphone, you are disappointing a lot of potential users.

I think I'm sensing a movement here. 🙂  I hope the Lightroom Mobile team does too.  I would wager there are thousands of people not using Lightroom Mobile's camera due to this oversight.

Please add one more voice to the hoards of those that want the volume buttons to be able to trigger the shutter release in Lightroom iOS. This should also reinstate the remote shutter device I have that doesn't work in Lightroom on the iPhone as it is trying to activate the shutter via the volume up button.

Please, please fix this soon, it's so vital.
