Lightroom Mobile Sharpening Default and Syncing

I have LR mobile set to import photos from my camera roll (almost all DNGs). When they appear in LR Classic they have a default sharpening already set. I have an import preset made in Classic for 0 sharpening, but this syncing from the phone seems to bypass that preset. Is there a way to have the syncing default to a preset?

 

Interestingly, I also see photos shot with the LR mobile camera also have a default sharpening set. Is there a way to turn this off?

    In the app settings in the mobile app there is an import tab where you can define the default settings applied to new imports (this includes new camera snaps). In this location select a preset that has the settings you want. Otherwise new images will just get the standard settings which includes a bit of sharpening for dng images indeed as they all need a bit. When images sync down to Classic, they always retain these defaults that were applied in the mobile app. Classic will not treat them as unedited images.

      Thanks, I missed that setting!

      I can't seem to find any setting which will affect the sharpening on shots made with the LR camera. It would be nice if the LR camera used user presets to shoot with (through) as an option instead of just after a shot is made. Similar to what the app offers as options in Pro mode.

      Ah. I stopped using the Lightroom camera itself and now use ProCamera because Adobe can't for some reason fix their inability to shoot raw with the ultrawide camera on my iPhone 12 mini. ProCamera shoots raw with it just fine and they import with settings defined in the settings tab so I didn't realize that the settings don't affect dng shot with the Lightroom camera app. Agree that it would be good if you could define default settings for the in app camera.
