In Lightroom, i can filter to only see photos taken with any one (more multilpe) cameras. That's great. But i cant seem to find a way to show *only* the photos that do *not* have a camera assigned (e.g. hptoz imported from the iPhone camera roll that ended up there from a non-camera source (screenshots, saves from whatsapp, etc).

Am i missing some way to do this?

This doesn't seem to be possible in cloudy Lightroom. You can very easily do it in Classic by filtering and selecting "unknown camera" but this option doesn't seem to be available in the cloud based Lightroom version.

Yeah. "Unfortunately" (not really, but...), i've switched to cloud-based Lightroom CC ages ago, pretty much as soon as it came out.

I recall it was very basic then, and I was hoping it would catch up and surpass Classic "soon."

But, while it has many, many benefits I would not want to miss, and has gotten a lot better, it is crazy to see how – years and years later – it still struggles/has not been able to catch up to Classic, in many ways :(. Often in really simple things (like an option to not force-eject your SD after import, as I just noted on a different thread). It's disheartening, sometimes — especially since it is often trivial-seeming things like this where it continues to lag behind and that year after year simply don't get addressed.

That said, I don't regret making the switch, as I love the cloud-based approach of having my full library on laptop, iPad and phone.

Yeah I didn't switch for the reasons mentioned. I love the feature that all your images are identical everywhere and I use cloudy all the time as a sidekick to Classic but it misses so many features and still does after many many years that I think we will never get simply because it seems that the intended audience and basic premise of the program just don't align in Adobe's mind with having those features. I mean it still can't print!
