Question

Stop auto sync from iPhone into LR

How do I stop Lightroom automatically importing my iPhone photos into Lightroom on my computer.  It imports them by date and inserts my iPhone photos in any gallery with the same date - meaning I have galleries with client work and then any personal phone photos are in the same gallery.  If there is no gallery already, I get a new one so that I have 100's of galleries automatically being created.

Auto importing is already turned off.

    You have posted this question in the Adobe Captivate User Forum, not the Adobe Lightroom User Forum.

    Can you clarify a few things?

    First, which version of Lightroom are you referring to? Lightroom Classic or the new cloud-centric Lightroom CC. Do Help>System Info and paste the first few lines of the resulting display.

    Secondly, what you you mean by "galleries"? I guess you could be meaning albums/collections, but Lightroom (both versions) can't automatically create these, so do you mean Folders (which Lightroom Classic can auto-create using dates either during a standard import and also by syncing down images from the cloud (if you've set it up that way).

    So if we can start with these questions, we'll probably be able to help.
