I haven't found anything related to this in online searches, so i thought i would ask Lightroom users.

I have Lightroom mobile installed on my iPhone 7 and when i use it, the phone gets very hot. If the ambient temp is 90 or better (which happens quite often here in Florida), the phone will overheat and shut down after a while. I used it without that happening yesterday (ambient temps around 75), but the phone was still quite hot. I have a pretty thin Spigen case on the phone, and it doesn't get hot with anything other apps.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks,

Steve

As I mentioned I think I remember that this was their first iOS app and it was written in Adobe Air (i.e. Flash). Probably ported to native code over the years with some Adobe translation libraries. Not fully native iOS code. So they probably need to full re-write which Adobe rarely does. Instead of bugging execs at Adobe who will do nothing, a beteer route would be to bug Apple's App Store to report it. I can't imagine they would allow an app to obverheat like this. They will either force Adobe to fix it or remove it from the store.

I suggest everyone starts emailing the CEO saying this is a defective product not fit for its intended purpose and politely ask him to forward the complaints to whichever executive leads the iOS/iPad OS development.

I'm starting to think they are fully aware of the problem but there isn't an easy fix. I wonder if the issue persists on the new M3 iPad Pro. In any case I'm fed up of using battery saver mode on my M2 iPad to stop this from happening, looking at alternatives now.

Hi. I'm experiencing the same of my iPad Pro 11". It's actually terrible and I'm not sure if the problem but it's a hindrance to your work flow. Will be looking into alternative software for editing. Unhappy customer!

IPad Pro M2 12.9, iPadOS 17.5.1. Newest Lightroom.

After newest update of Lightroom, the overheating and dimming of the screen is exactly the same as before. It occurs after few minutes of editing and at that point the software is clearly not useable properly, as everything is dark. It looks like Adobe can't fix this issue. I wonder weather the MacBook Air overheats too...

I have the same problem as everyone else here. After 5 min of work in lightroom it overheats, the screen dims and it is impossible to work. Is this ever going to be fixed? Apparently it's a long-standing problem.

Agreed, I thought they had fixed the issue but I was wrong. M2 iPad with latest update still overheats even when just browsing through photos. I'm cancelling my subscription. The developers should be sacked.

I'm on iPhone 15 pro in the Netherlands (colder environment) and my phone also gets way too hot while using Lightroom. Even on the newest update. The issue is not fixed. You'd think a 15 pro would be powerful enough not to overheat for just editing pics

With much respect, adobe has helped me get started as a serious photographer. This isn't my first iPad Pro And I know they're capable of so much more.. But for some reason, the iPad struggles in the Lightroom app. I've done enough testing and I've been patient Update upon update.. for about 6 years.. that's a lot of money.. well I think I found a very humble solution.
AffinityPhoto. (The difference was night and day)
I'm just looking out for us and our devices.

I hope Adobe learns a few things because I love the cloud and the AI has been cool too but I'm not needing AI.

Hi

I am using the latest iPhone 16 pro max and I have observed that while using the app for like 10 to 12 minutes there is a significant battery drain in my phone it was like almost 15 percent with device heating up as well. Even the edits where couple masks and basic exposure corrections.

My battery health is 100 percent and I am non beta version of ios 18.1

When using Lightroom in my iPad, the iPad sims after about 20 minutes of using Lightroom. And no it's not set to auto dim. Anyone else experience this and any way around it?

I am already updated the Lightroom app on ipad pro 12'9 latest OS version and same thing also tried the‘battery saver’ mode without positive effect, so this is me saying bye to Adobe on iPad 🙂 Afinnity works like a charm, no issues.
