Question

Lightroom on iOS cannot delete a photo sometimes

Sometimes, when I try to delete oneor many photos from the Lightroom app, it fails to do that - remove iOS popup just won’t show. 

Also, it may sometimes help to restart the phone, but the issue isn’t 100% solvable by just restarting, It happens randomly. 

I previously have noticed that the issue can be easily triggered by trying to remove lots of photos (don’t remember how many exactly), but after the recent update it seems that Lightroom won’t allow me to delete that many photos (delete button becomes inactive after certain number of photos selected). 

Nevertheless, the issue is still randomly happening when I’m trying to delete like two or three photos. At certain point It just stops working.

I have a suspicion that this is some iOS system issue casue I’ve been experiencing this since iOS 18 and not only in Lightroom, but other third-party apps too. But you know how Apple support goes: restart, do factory reset, send to repair, etc. Without actually solving anything. So, I guess such a big company as Adobe would have more chances asking Apple to fix their s**t.
