Please allow for image "stacks" or "groups" on Lightroom for iPad. This would be relevant for (at least) the following workflow:

* Maintaining copies of both Raw and JPG images alongside each other, without seeing the images twice in the catalog; also, allows you to reject/accept both Raw and JPG forms in a single step.

* Collecting in-camera bracketed images into a single group.

Even with this, you'll still need Lightroom Classic to do any sort of stitching (HDR, Pano, etc), but this would at least allow my iPad catalog to stay organized until I can make it back to a computer with LrC. Thank you.

I need stacks on lightroom mobile (android), otherwise it makes the app kinda useless. I have plenty of panoramas, hdr and timelapses which makes browsing my catalog / finding photos pretty overwhelming without stacks...

@JohanElzenga this is pretty much what you said back in 2018.
When it's been 6 years and Adobe hasn't done anything to implement a basic feature, there's no need to put "yet" or "not at this time".
You can pretty much replace it by "not ever will be".

Not only is this quite a crucial feature that existed since very early versions of Lightroom, but it breaks the workflow if you start stackong on your computer and want to continue work on iPad

Hi - I'm wondering whether it's possible to stack photos in Lightroom mobile, please?

No, that is not supported in Lightroom mobile at this time.

How is this still not a thing? Stacks work perfectly on desktop but outside of that are broken. If I create an album on desktop and include photos with stacks it displays correctly, with only the stack cover image show in the grid. If I look at the same album on my Android device, or if I share the album and look at it on the web, all the different versions in the stack are shown as separate photos. Even worse is there's no way to remove photos within a stack from an album - I have to remove the entire stack, then open the stack, right-click on the cover photo and add that to the album. Such frustrating!

Sad to see Adobe just ignore this, even though it got a lot of attention and support by users.

Only thing I’ll say is Windows on ARM isn’t a last week surprise.

Nowadays, with burst shooting, image stacking , panoramas and HDR, grouping photos is an ESSENTIAL part of any editing suite. OMG, Adobe, what is taking you so long to bring this to LrMobile for iPad???
