In the Presets panel, under Recommended, I do not see the preset categories (Warm, Dark, Bright, Cinematic, HDR, etc.) that appear in Adobe's documentation and other users' screenshots. The app is fully updated, I've already compared it with Lightroom on my phone, and the feature is missing only on my iPad. I'd like to know if this is a bug, a staged rollout, or an account-specific issue.

    This is a deliberate change to simplify sub-categories under Recommended Presets.

    Please bring back the preset categories under Recommended. I used Warm, Cool, Bright, Dark, Cinematic etc. regularly and found them much more useful than the new simplified view. The update has made my workflow less convenient.

    This is so disappointing.  Those were my favorite features. I'd much rather have those kind of editing options over anything AI. Please bring them back. They weren't hurting anyone 🙏

    Why change this, The option in Recommended presets need putting back as it was, this is the reason I chose to pay for the app.

    I’m getting the same issue, no modes under the recommended tab. I too pay for the service and loved having those features. Might have to cancel because this is ridiculous.

    If the removal of the recommended preset categories was intentional, I might seriously intentionally cancel all subscriptions and find somewhere else to do editing. I pay for both mobile and classic for lightroom and photoshop, and should have those categories back as part of my subscriptions that I pay for.

    Questions about Lightroom Mobile should be posted in the Lightroom Ecosystem forum, and not in the Lightroom Classic forum.
