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.

Correct answer Rikk Flohr-Retired

The Android release 11.5.30 should be rolling out now with an update for this issue. It may take several days for it to appear in the Google Play store but should be immediately available in the Samsung store.

Hello!

Just wanted to know if a Lightroom update is coming for Android users regarding the presets categories that were available in previous versions of the app but are not available in the current version. I saw someone answered a thread and said that there's an update for iOS? Is there an android update coming soon? Thanks!

11.5.30 for LrM-i0S is now available in the App Store. It contains an update for this thread.

Thank you for your patience.

I know this decision wasn't yours personally, and I appreciate you engaging with the thread earlier. At this point, though, I think many of us would really appreciate an update from Adobe on whether the Lightroom product team has seen this feedback and whether restoring the Recommended Preset categories is being considered.

This clearly hasn't been an isolated reaction to a UI change. A number of paying customers have explained why this specific workflow was so valuable and why the current Recommended feed isn't an viable replacement.

Even if there isn't a decision yet, simply knowing that the product team has received and is considering the feedback would be appreciated. For me, this feature remains the deciding factor in whether I continue paying for Lightroom.

Thanks
