Question

“Export as” problem

When I want to use the function "Export as", maximum number of photos that I can save to my gallery is just five. If I select more than 5 photos, Lightroom does not give me the option to do that, instead I have to send them to my Files first, and then from there to save them to my gallery. Why?

I use Mobile Lightroom for IOS, version 9.2.2.

The latest version of Lightroom iOS 10.2.2 does not have that limit.

Is there any reason you cannot update from 9.2.2 (a very old app version)?  I know you should be able to update to LR iOS v10.1.3 if you are running iOS 16.

I was not aware that my LR version is not the latest, but once again as I updated it to 10.2.2. the same problem is still there.

Because of the file size I had to do it twice, so in this first part I selected 6 photos for export and as you can see, I didnt have the option for saving them to my gallery.  

(I choose "Export as" instead of "Save copy to device" because I need to put a watermark)

I do see the same as you when using "Export as", but I'm confused when you say you are using this option instead of "Save copy to device" because you need to include a watermark. "Save copy to device" also allows you to include a watermark, see attached screenshot.
