Could you please bring back the old default view with the full albums in Lightroom mobile app, after latest update it's a mess.

I haven't seen any option bring it back.

I just realized the help URL I shared needed a correction.  I updated my original reply.

Other than the introduction of the "Device" tab (which can safely be ignored), I didn't think that much had changed under the "Lightroom" tab? I was just grateful that they left it more or less as it was, and didn't implement the non-sensical (IMO) change to the main "Lightroom Albums" page that the iOS and Android LrM users have been saddled with.

Hello

The user experience and design changes you mention are about reducing the effort and time required to edit mobile device photos. Your suggestion of providing a toggle for old vs new is experience is noted.  However, I can't speak to whether it is feasible for the team to support two flavors of app UI as a long term approach.

 

You can learn more about the rationale behind these changes in our updated help doc: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-cc/using/work-with-lightroom-mobile-ios.html

Regarding your Open In question, this was removed in an effort to streamline the app's Share menu. One can find the same capability using the Export As command and selecting a target app after tapping the Export As checkmark. Or, one can also open in other apps via the Share command (though by default that uses a reduced-resolution version of the photo).  We've updated this help doc to show all current Export and Share options: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-cc/using/save-share-export-mobile-ios.html 

 

Lastly, regarding where the Learn tab went, please see this help doc: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-cc/using/in-app-learning-ios.html
