I can no longer drag and drop photos into LR for the iPad when using split windows. This worked with prior versions. For example before I could drag a photo from the Photos app directly into a LR album folder and have it import and add it. With the new iOS when the windows are side by side this no longer works.

This is not a feature request. It is a bug report.

this functionality worked in iOS18 and broke in iO23

Hi @9692663_view9114,

Thank you for reaching out! I've moved your comment from the idea you posted to the discussions. Could you please provide the version of Lightroom you are using on your iPad, as well as the exact version of iOS?

When you attempt to use drag and drop, are you using your finger or an Apple Pencil?
