P: Restore Editing in Landscape Mode on iPhones?

Does Lightroom Mobile work in landscape mode on an iPhone?

Hello all,

 

like many others I have huge issues with Lightroom 9 mobile (no editing in landscape mode, upright guides dont stick to the photo when zooming in and out, curves stay on screen while editing them, making it impossible to see the whole picture while changing it, the new arrangement of symbols on the bottom with two layers of options openings "steals" more screenspace than before from seeing my photo). 

 

I do most of my editing on my phone and really really depend on this app being as functional as possible, which it absolutely isnt at the moment. 

 

Is there a way to install an old version where all of my described faults are not occuring yet? I am using an iPhone. 

 

Thank you so much for your help!!

Please solve this issue. It really doesnt make sense to remove this function. Maybe it would make sense to keep it as an option somewhere in the menu to enable or disable the editing in landscape, but completely removing it really really doesnt make sense. I cannot stress enough how annoying this is. I have other issues with the new update! For years and years this app blew my mind by how much better it kept getting. Now its getting worse. Please, please listen to the users. I dont wanna leave Adobe but if this continues i have no other option

Unfortunately, I can no longer show information in horizontal view on iPhone 11 (iOS version 17.0.3). I would like to be able to at least see the stars and flags again and give ratings. In general, the Lightroom mobile app has become much more cluttered than previous versions. Can't you change it back to the old design?

 

Leider kann ich in der horizontalen Ansicht am iPhone 11 (iOS-Version 17.0.3) keine Informationen mehr einblenden lassen. Ich möchte da mindestens wieder die Sterne und Flaggen sehen und Bewertungen geben können. Allgemein ist die Lightroom mobile App viel unübersichtlicher geworden als die früheren Versionen. Könnt ihr das nicht wieder zum alten Design ändern?

Bring back landscape editing! Your data is not reliable.

Does anyone else now see a "Ligtroom Team Photos" folder in their root? Someone should get fired for this release tbh. Gimme back my landscape eduting option that I am paying for.

 

else, we should go with that new AI editing app - similar to lightroom

I edit 99% of my photos in LR on an iPad or iPhone. 90% iPhone. Being able to edit in landscape mode is functionality I can't understand why it would be removed.

Removing this option was a terrible idea, this has just made editing on a phone 10 times more difficult. Why would you want to waste 50% of your viewing options on an already small screen.

Should I put some of my devices in Landscape and keep them active all day for the statistic so you don't remove it in Android too? I dont even have a portrait stand for my tablet.

In case Adobe doesn't fix their mistake, does anyone have recommendations for another editing app for the iPhone?
