Non movable masks for mobile lightroom

Masks should not be movable on the mobile app. It makes no sense why they are movable. After doing so much work masking and I accidently move it, it cant be undone so I have to start all over. Please make this change

    The demo below shows how to undo a brush mask move (or any other edit), although on an iPhone. On your phone, do you see the Undo/Redo buttons at the top of the screen as shown, or are you saying that the Android version of Lightroom does not have those?

    Hey, @erin_5832. Welcome to the Lightroom Community. I'll help you figure this out. 

     

    What specific masks are you working with? Subject & Sky masks don't move, whereas other Local adjustment masks can be moved and undo works for these masks. 

    Please share a video of your workflow.

     

    Thanks!

    I use the brush mask tool. Also I don't know how to create screen
    recordings on my android. Basically I use the brush tool to mask and If I
    move the mask accidently, there's no way of undoing it and then I have to
    start over. I use the brush tool for lighting and color corrections. I'm a
    wedding photographer. And I like being able to edit on-the-go. It just
    seems like a design flaw to have the brush mask be movable. Please try it
    yourself so that you know what I mean. Make a mask and use the brush, maybe
    brush over someone's face. And then move the mask. It makes no sense for it
    to be movable.

    On my laptop, if I accidently move it, I can simply undo it. Cmd z.

    But not on my phone.
