Question

Photos gone

Hello!

I always use the lightroom app on my iPhone, but today when I opened the app all my photos were gone... is there anyway to get them back?

 

I did open my lightroom app on my Mac once last week but never synced it to the mobile app.

 

Can anybody help me restore the photos?

So assuming that you had a plan with cloud storage can you see the photos at http://lightroom.adobe.com/?

 

If it is the free app, then this was probably caused by the bug on the 5.4.0 update:

The only definite option is to restore the device from a back up (iCloud/iTunes) prior to the update.

You could try iTunes File Sharing: https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/lightroom-classic/kb/recover-lightroom-mobile-photos-itunes-file-sharing....

Another user has restored their photos by jailbreaking their phone and using Filza.


There is a rarer case though where photos would have disappeared if you had cloud storage, but these should resync from the cloud I believe.
