I would love to be able to create smart albums (aka smart collections) in the all-new Lightroom CC. Basically, a folder that contains a set of photos based on metadata information and updates automatically. The feature set should ideally contain all the options that exist in Lightroom Classic for smart collections. Thanks!

I'm sure this feature has been requested numerous times, but nothing came up when I input this title to the community.

Why, Adobe, do you continue to handcuff the iPad version of Lightroom. The discrepancies between the two versions--Lightroom desktop and Lightroom iPad--make them into two very different apps, and this is, yet, another example.

It would be infinitely helpful, especially for the many professional photographers who use the iPad version on a daily basis, for Smart Albums created on the desktop version to appear on the iPad version. Sorry, but this is a no-brainer.

I am almost at the point of abandoning the iPad version in favour of picking up a cheap MacBookAir as even an old MBA that supports Lightroom will do this, even though my M1 iPad cannot.. But then again, maybe this is what Adobe wants--to keep the iPad version so limited that even children outgrow it!!

But most importantly, with the limited criteria available for search, at this stage, it remains useless unfortunately

Its nice the status shows "released" but its not really released when there is no parity between the desktop app and the mobile app.

On of the advangates of cloud storage is you can take it withou you and load on any device. If I cannot use smart albums on my iPad, there is no great advantage to cloud Lightroom.
