Question

Add to Lr option gone

The "Add to Lr" option has disappeared from the share function. The only option is "Open in Lr". Using Pixel 7 Pro, Android 15 and the latest Lightroom Mobile 10. Is this a bug or by design? Not being able to add photos without opening Lightroom is killing my workflow. Please fix this.

I am having the same problem. I was hoping this was some kind of a bug on my phone but it's not. I JUST got a new one and its still doing this. Adding to LR just isn't there anymore and it's absolutely ridiculous. I don't need the 2GB app opening up every single time I want to add a photo. This needs to be reverted back already. Dont fix it if it ain't broken.

The 'Add to Lr' feature has not been removed. Instead, the functionalities of 'Add to Lr' and 'Edit in Lr' have been combined into a single option called 'Open in Lr.' You can use the 'Open in Lr' option to import photos into Lightroom, which should streamline the process.

Hardly streamlined.

 

Before I could go through my gallery app of choice and use the share/add to lightroom option when I found something I wanted to edit in lightroom. Still staying in my gallery. 

 

Now, everytime I use the "streamlined" open in lighroom option, lightroom options and I have to use the back arrow at the top left to "add to lightroom" and then go into the task manager and switch back to my gallery and browse my images. 

 

I hardly find this innovation useful and its incredibly cumbersome to my workflow. The old "add to" option could very well be available beside the new "open in".
