P: (iPadOS): Swap panels for Left-Handers

The current (08-2017) build on Lr Mobile places the tools on the right' for left handed people especially when using a iPad Pro and the iPencil, this causes serious functionality issues, as using the sliders etc means the left hand is over the image...it would be great if the location of the tools could be moved back to the bottom (prefered) or be selectable (left or right side)

    On iOS, yes, it's in Settings > Gestures. It's not available on Android yet.

    Is there a way to move the edit buttons to the left hand side of the screen? 

    As a left handed person having the buttons on the right side makes editing a bit awkward.

    I am a lefty. I use apple pencil on my left hand to edit photos. However, the UI is on the right. 

    This way, my hand must cover the photo while tweaking options. So annoying...

    Been using this way for 1.5 years, hoping Adobe would add options to change directions of UI..

    Am I the only lefty one struggling on Lightroom for iPad? I mean, UI customization is one of the basic things you'd expect on softwares.

    I'm using on a Samsung tablet too (the S5e), the mobile cc workflow is great but it does feel really awkward when I'm using my pen for editing. Agree we need this feature on android.

    Seems like GetSat needs to be updated to make it easier to help you find the solution--we added this ability quite a while ago and was marked as solved on this thread in August of last year--it exists, though could be easier to find:
