P: Lightroom Mobile failing to import photos saved from Instagram

[jayjiaaa]

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S9 and the Lightroom Mobile app on my phone has been updated to v6.4.0 — which, if I'm not mistaken, is the latest version of the app.

Everything was working fine before. However, as of today (27/08/21), I receive the error "Photos failed to import" whenever I try to import photos saved from Instagram.

I have tried logging out and back into the app, as well as clearing the app's cache, but nothing has worked so far. This issue currently only occurs with photos from Instagram; I'm still able to import other photos successfully.

I haven't encountered this over the past few years of using Lightroom Mobile. Is there a way to resolve this problem?

Hi, sorry you're having trouble. I was not able to reproduce this issue. Would you please post the specific steps you took including screenshots or a screen recording? 

[jayjiaaa]

Hi! Here are 2 screen recordings of both a failed and succesful import.

As seen in the video of the failed import (Lightroom-Issue_Failed-Import), the image I selected is saved from Instagram. Whereas in the video of the successful import (Lightroom-Issue_Successful-Import), the image is taken with my own camera app.

Really hope there's a way to fix this issue! 

Thank you 🙂

Can you tell us what version of Instagram you are using?

Salve a tutti! 

Ho un problema con l'app di Lightroom nell'importazione di alcune foto.

Se importo foto fatte dalla fotocamera, me le Importa tranquillamente. Se le. Importo da una foto fatta da una storia instagram (fatto fino a un mese fa) mi dice importazione foto non corretta e ovviamente non mi carica nulla.

Qualcuno può dirmi cosa devo fare e quale è il problema?

Grazie ❤️

Hi, Thanks for reporting this. We are aware of the issue and will have a fix in an upcoming release.

For now making a minor edit with the native photo app on your device and resaving it will allow Lightroom to import it. Updates will be posted here. Thanks for your patience.
