I received an email saying my photos and presets will be deleted if I don't subscribe. I've been using the free version of Lightroom mobile for a long time, I don't understand why everything will be deleted? Shouldn't I be able to keep my photos and presets and still not have access to the premium features?

Hi @Fancy_judge73d1,

Thanks for reaching out. I’d like to take a closer look at the mail you received before advising you further.

Could you please share:

A screenshot of the email, including the message about the deletion of your photos/presets. Please hide any personal information before posting it publicly.
Whether you have ever had a Lightroom/Adobe subscription or started a free trial on this account.
Whether the Adobe ID/email address that received this notification is the same account currently signed in to Lightroom on your mobile device.
Please don’t post your email address or other account information publicly; just confirm whether they are the same account.

Once I have those details, I can look into this further.

Thanks,
Anshul Saini

If you are using Lightroom Mobile, then you are in the wrong forum. Please post your question in the Lightroom (Ecosystem) forum.

J’ai reçu un mail me disant que mes photos et presets vont être supprimés si je ne me prends pas d’abonnement. J’utilise Lightroom mobile en version gratuite depuis longtemps, je ne comprends pas pourquoi tout va se supprimer ? Normalement je devrais pouvoir conserver les photos et presets et continuer à ne pas avoir accès aux fonctionnalités premium ?
