P: (Mobile) Presets panel, under Recommended, I do not see the preset categories (Warm, Dark, Bright, Cinematic, HDR, etc.)

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.

    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!

    Thank you for your patience.

    @Rikk Flohr_Photography — following up once more as this thread has now grown to 86 replies and over 1,100 views and continues to receive activity daily.

    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

    I’ve had subscription for the last five years with Adobe Lightroom 

    The fact that they removed the presets completely heartbreaking, I’ll give it a month

    After that if it’s not back, Everything’s going on a solid state Drive and I’m canceling my membership

    When doing the presets, the slider bar for warm, cool, etc. is completely gone and missing
