Lightroom Share is getting bogged down in "Rendering" phase -- so slow, please help!

I regularly share batches of 50-100 photos from Lightroom CC (iPhone 13 w/ current iOS) and I have always used "Share" to send directly to my laptop or iMac via Airdrop. Never had this problem before but now I'm completely stopped here:

Just upgraded to the newest Lightroom mobile version. Now, when I "Share" the photos, they go into "Rendering" mode and it takes FOREVER or just never finishes, and I'm talking about less than 50 images. This just started after deleting the old version and upgrading to the new one. I WANT THE OLD ONE BACK.

Why is this happening? How to make it stop? In the "Rendering" phase it will say, quite literally, "This may take a while" and it's not kidding. It bogs down around image 10-12 and I get this message.

Please for the love of all that is holy, help me.

I'm also experiencing exactly the same issue! Did you get a fix?

I don't understand why you can't edit or delete posts on this forum? I got a weird totally unhelpful ChatGPT reply to my post! Super annoying. Oh well, never mind that. I just wanted to attach a pic of what I'm experiencing - Here I'm only trying to export 10 images, and it's bogging down on the SECOND image, and I captured this on image four. Each image takes 10-15 seconds to "Render" - what is going on? Please someone help me. I've deleted and reinstalled Lightroom, and my iOS is current at the most recent update (17 I believe). I'm in a near-total work stoppage till I can figure this out otherwise I have to abandon this ecosystem.

Thanks for your reply. Yup, this is new for this version and I've changed nothing about my process. How do I get this reported as a bug? I'm new here 🙂

As for the type of images, it does this as either DNG or JPG. There's zero editing on my part, no blurs or anything, it's just straight up taking a pic in the lightroom app, then attempt to export or share. It is interesting to me that it's happening for you (or at least, you're noticing a slowdown) with the blur. I wonder if I have some setting on that is adding in an edit I'm not aware of.. I'll check into that. In the meantime I've settled on an unfortunate workaround which involves saving all the images to my device (iPhone camera roll) then sharing via airdrop to my desktop where I work with the images. It's clunky and adds a step, but at least when it "renders" to device storage it goes super fast in comparison. The biggest issue is that it reverses the order for some reason, which isn't a huge deal for me but it is weird and somewhat annoying.

Anyway thanks again for your reply!

Huh, interesting. I was having the same slowness with the DNG+lens blur export to the camera roll, too, so it may be we're running into different issues.

One other idea, given your goal: Have you tried the "Export As..." rather than "Share..."? That lets you just export the actual original file without converting it into another format, which should essentially bypass the rendering step. If you're going jpg > jpg via Share, you may actually be adding unwanted lossiness, too. Export then drops you into the same share sheet where you can AirDrop.

Re bugs: There's a separate bugs forum as part of the community (this post is in the "discussions" section)—not sure if they move threads like this over automatically sometimes, or if you'd need to write a new one in that section.
