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.

Same here. I won't use the Lr camera because of this. I never use the onscreen button.

"It's killing me. "    Exactly.  I can't really use the camera yet, even though I love everything else about the app.

And not sure how the dev team didn't realize that every other camera app out there has this feature.

I was just coming here to see if someone had made this thread already. I'm loving the combo of the iPhone 7 camera capturing DNGs in Lightroom Mobile. Great results. So much so that I plan to make it my default method of taking shots with my phone.

But we desperately need the volume up/down buttons to work for the shutter! You get far better results this way, more stability, and can be faster and more discrete than if you have to press on the screen. This is even more important in low light.

So I hope this will be added very soon. It seriously must only be a few lines of code. It's killing me. I'm surprised it isn't already working this way.

Please add it guys! It's a great app and workflow, just needs this one tweak.

Please add support for the use of the volume up button to take a photo in Lightroom Mobile Camera Module.

Thanks for the request. It's on our radar.

Right danostmint.  Without the volume button functionality, hundreds of thousands or more of us who use a bluetooth remote can't use Lightroom camera now.  Since these remotes cost literally just a few bucks, they are very popular.

There is simply no way I can use Lightroom camera for candid street photography, and street photography is one of the most, if not the most, popular category of mobile photography outside of snapshots.

I don't know if Adobe has a habit of listening to customers' requests and implementing them quickly, but I hope so. This one seems like a no-brainer.

I really do want to use Lightroom camera, it's otherwise awesome.

Yes, me too!!  This is essential for street photography.  And once the volume buttons (both please up/down) are working, then I can also use my bluetooth remote shutter gadget as well.

Pretty much every other IOS camera has the volume functions, btw.
