Question

Edited videos not exporting to Photos app on iPhone (Lightroom v10.5.2, iOS 18)

Hi Adobe team,

 

I’m on iPhone running iOS 18 with Lightroom Mobile v10.5.2. Edited videos refuse to export to the Photos app — they either stay stuck “syncing” or complete the export but never appear in Photos.

 

Steps I’ve tried:

 

  • Cleared cache
  • Reinstalled Lightroom
  • Verified Photos permissions (“All Photos”)
  • Toggled sync off/on
  • Tried exporting manually and through “Save to Device”

 

 

The only workaround that partially works is exporting to Files and then manually saving to Photos from there.

 

Seems like this may be a known issue since the October update. Could you please confirm if a fix is coming or if there’s a stable version I can roll back to?

 

Thank you!

Hi,

what video format (size, length, dimensions, are you editing and with what kind of edits?
What device are you on exactly?

Thanks,
