    Hi @ReyPena,

    Thanks for reaching out! Photos taken with the Lightroom in-app camera are saved directly to your Lightroom cloud library; they aren't automatically saved to your iPhone's Photos app. This is by design, so your originals stay in the Lightroom ecosystem for non-destructive editing and cloud sync.

     

    However, you can manually save copies to your Camera Roll:

    • Open the photo (or select multiple photos) in Lightroom.

    • Tap the Share icon.

    • Choose "Save Copy to Device" for a quick save, or "Export as…" if you'd like to choose file type, size, and quality.

    • The photo will then appear in your iPhone Photos app.
       

    If you'd like your photos to be available in both places, a simple method is to shoot with your iPhone's native Camera app or another camera app that saves images directly to the iPhone Photos app. Then, in Lightroom, you can turn on the 'Auto add from device photos, screenshots & videos' option found under App Settings > Import. This way, your photos will be seamlessly synchronized across your devices.


     

    Unfortunately, there isn't currently an automatic "save to Camera Roll" setting for the Lightroom camera.
     

    Hope that helps! Please feel free to let me know if you have any other questions.

     

    Best,
