Apple pro RAW files always look diffrent when imported into lighroom mobile. They seem to feel more washed out, underexposed and the colours are diffrent to what I see in the native photo app

This is normal. Lightroom will not render raw files the same way as the built in software. You will always need to do some editing to get the optimal image out of the proRAW files. Also note that what Apple calls proRAW is not actually a raw file. It is heavily processed by the phone and not really raw data. That doesn't really matter but it is not the same thing as raw data from normal cameras. It includes all kinds of computational photography processing that is specific to Apple software and can't really be used the same way by anybody else.

Apple iOS and Lightroom may process Raw images differently.
I'm curious, in the Lightroom app settings, under Import > Raw Default Settings, are you using "Adobe Default" which is the default profile applied to all images? I'm not sure this will help, but does the appearance change for new Apple Raw imports if you use Camera Settings instead?

Unforchantly notthing changes within the app. I usally import the RAWs into the lighroom app and upload to the cloud to veiw on lighroom CC but even though within lightroom CC theres a preset called apple RAW they dont look the same. Would uplaoding directly to lighroom CC instead of the app (cloud) make a diffrence ?
