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.

    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 🙏

    ​@Bubbly_happiness4fb7 I would strongly recommend you cancel your subscription because that is the only way companies listen.

    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.

    ​@Nigel+Mal  I only paid for the app for the very same reason. I tried communicating the issue as soon as it came up and instead they deleted my posts. I’m canceling my subscription today and I would recommend you do the same because that is the only way they listen. When they lose subscriptions.

    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.

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

    I guess I’m cancelling my subscription since this is the main reason I use the paid service rather than free.

    ​@warm_connoisseurbf3d I’m doing the very same (canceling) as soon as my appointments are done today. 

     

    Those features were the only reason I was paying for the app because I don’t always have time to edit from scratch. Now that they’re gone, I have no use for it.

    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.

    ​@motivated_Lullaby5b47 I recommend you go through with your cancellation because I’m doing the same today. Those features were the only reason I was paying for the app. 
     

    I’ve already started looking elsewhere and found an app called Prequel. I’ve never tried it before, but it came highly recommended.

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

    Lightroom mobile when I went to edit a picture on my phone I could go to presets and it would have different categories such as subtle strong warm cool b&w and others now they are gone and I want to know why and how to get them back.
