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.

    Very Disappointed on this decision by Adobe, 

    90% of my edits where because of those subsections. They were helping a lot!

    @Rikk Flohr_Photography — just wanted to follow up on this since the thread has continued to receive comments and activity.

    Have you been able to pass this feedback along to the Lightroom product team, and is there any indication that restoring the Recommended Preset categories is being considered?

    I'm still holding off on canceling my subscription in hopes that Adobe reconsiders. These categories were essentially the reason I paid for Lightroom, and I'd much rather see the feature restored than leave the product.

    Even if there isn't a decision yet, any update on whether the team is actively reviewing the feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again

    What a garbage move, Adobe. These presets are so so useful for photo editing. You just made the service you provide less valuable. Consumers are done getting screwed by companies with these “improvements”.

    The recommended presets was the only reason I purchased yearly Lightroom Mobile and now the many options are gone. 
    Canceling is irrelevant since the year is already paid for so this needs to be put back asap.

    I’ve cancelled my annual subscription because of this change. Annoyed that it just renewed so I’m stuck having paid for something that is basically unusable for me now.

    Bring back the categories for presets like warm, cool cinematic HDR black-and-white, etc.
