Image Capture Date when exporting LR mobile

Question

I use Lightroom mobile to edit my photos, it fits around my busy life, can't spend hours on a computer.

So I want to share my holiday photos to my photo stream (iOS) so I can share with family, but when they are ecported, the date is reset to the date of export from LR mobile. 🙄

Clearly this is a major issue when you're talking holiday photos, as they are not in sync.

Am I missing something here, or dies LR mobile lack the functionality to leave photo capture date as is? If so, can this be rectified? Seems pretty basic.

Thanks in advance

How are exporting to your "photo stream" and how are you viewing your photo stream? When I try this, the images always end up filed correctly at their capture date but you have to look in the Library view, not in rge Albums->recents view which shows the images as they come into the Photos app on iOS (this is by design clearly). Library shows them sorted by capture date. If you are using a shared album to look at the images, make sure to set the sort order to Oldest to Newest (or vice versa) and not to "date added".

This is all in the design of Apple's photos app and nothing to do with Lightroom by the way
