P: Ability to sync adjustments to multiple photos at once

I think LRM is great and use it to cull and edit all of my photos. As I import into LR (desktop) from my memory card, I add the photos to a new collection that is synced to LRM. I can do 80 - 90% of my editing on my iPad Pro 12.9 inch with Apple pencil. I do review all photos later on my desktop to ensure everything looks good before I print, export or publish. As I said, I am very happy with LRM but would really like to see the ability to sync adjustments to multiple photos at once. It would reduce the time required on my desktop and make mobile editing more efficient.

    Glad I am not the only one going absolutely INSANE trying to find a batch editing option in LR on my iPad Pro. @Adobe, this is so disappointing. Like Jeremy asked two weeks ago, any realistic timeframe on when we can expect this update?

    It's crazy how Adobe likes to market themselves as on the professionals side, but a simple feature request that has been added to other ecosystems has not been added to iOS. Baffled.......

    I am baffled, I just got an iPad and edited one event. The fact that you can only paste general adjustments one by one is unacceptable.  I also do not see a way to enter a caption to a whole album. I need to be able to select multiple photos and enter a caption at once. It is a requirement for most editorial clients. I like how fast Lightroom mobile is, but it lacks basic features for news / editorial photographers. Any updates on this. I need batch edit of image settings and of metadata.

    Working as a professional photographer and not having the ability to batch edit on the iphone or at least on the ipad is more than frustrating. It looks like Adobe is ignoring the iPad as a serious work tool. Where is Photoshop? Over a year now since they announced it. And why are companies like VSCO are capable of bringing these features already years ago. Keep focused adobe - its about making lifes easier than creating pain.

    It still seems that 6 months is a long time to wait for porting it over to ios.

    In the future I would suggest to hold back features until both versions ios and android are ready.

    Each team takes the lead on different features, so some things come to iOS first and then Android, and vice versa.

    Rikk, thank you much for the update. Is there a timeline for when this update for i(Pad)OS is expected to be available? E.g., this quarter? Next year? Also, as a general rule, should we expect Android to lead i(Pad)OS in feature delivery?

    This is fantastic, thank you. Couldn't come soon enough! I'm about to do a big batch of edits into November and need a more professional workflow that allows me to focus on my iPad and not my iMac.

    To clarify: 

    This feature has been implemented on the Desktop and Android clients for the Lightroom Ecosystem. It is currently planned for an upcoming release for Lightroom's iOS Clients (iPad and iPhone).
