Question

Mobile (Android) - change default aspect ratio crop settings - possible or not?

I'm a long, long-time Lightroom Classic user. Just now dabbling with Lightroom Mobile on my Android phone. I'm trying to crop several dozen images and I'm finding that the default behavior is for the aspect ratio to be set to Custom and Unlocked. As best I can tell there is no option to change this default to anything else. So if I want to maintain the original aspect ratio on each of these photos, I have to manually select "Original" every time. Is this accurate or am I missing how to set it? If it's not possible, why, oh why, not? Having to set it to lock every time for dozens of photos is, at best, baffling.

    It was recently changed from default "locked" to "unlocked". And now you can't change the default, yes it's very annoying.

      And it is not even possible to copy and paste the "locked state of the aspect ratio".

       

      Likes it's not possible to copy and paste a lot of useful things: https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-ecosystem-cloud-based-ideas/p-missing-mass-editing-tools-update-ai-masks-rotation-auto-settings-download-multiple-albums/idi-p/13988913

        Unfortunately you've chosen a pretty bad time to try out the mobile app, because they've just dropped an unbelievably awful update. Ratio used to default to locked!

        Now with the new interface the "locked ratio" that should be default is buried even deeper in the settings. And it needs another confirm for what was previously just one tab.

         

        Congratulations Adobe, you added two unnesseary additional steps to a basic function that should not be off by default anyway.🤦
