@Charlie.D Isn't this already in the "ideas" section? If not, can you link directly to where you're referring?

I cant believe this was removed! Please please bring back. All of the edit functions on the iphone so much less useful using from the small view when the phone is oriented vertically

Why can't I edit pictures in landscape mode anymore? Have you seriously removed this option?!?!

Lightroom update version 9.0. iOS.

TL;DR: If you would like to see LR iPhone landscape editing added back to LR iOS, please upvote this thread to show interest to Lightroom Product Mgmt.

Yes, editing in landscape was not included when the Editor for LR iPhone was rewritteen.  I believe the decision was informed by data showing low editing use in landscape orientation. 
[Edit: I was mistaken, and crossed out my original statement above now that the team has corrected me.] 

 

Lightroom iOS's Edit UI was rewritten, and lack of edit while in landscape could be a matter of incomplete implementation.  While this remains unimplemented, one can still rotate the iPhone to landscape orientation to preview the image with current edits, and then flip back to portrait to see Edit controls again.
