How to Remove/Replace background using Lightroom mobile?

How do you remove/replace a background? I purchased this app thinking I could do so much with it and I'm not seeing much that can be done. Everything I see available on this app that I purchased I can do on free apps. I also don't see any tools to remove objects from photos. Am I missing something? Please help!

    Lightroom can't do this, but Photoshop can. If you right-click on the picture in Lightroom and choose "Edit in...", you can bring the image into Photoshop and replace the background. Personally I always go to Photoshop through Lightroom so the original and edit are linked. Once you finish your edit, close the file (choose "save" when it asks) and it'll pop you back to Lightroom, where both versions will be together.

    The dumbest app ever.  Can t change background in photos.  If you like aggravation. Then use this app. Otherwise get a better photo app.

            It's best to use Photoshop for such image manipulation.

            Hi,

             

            Thanks for reaching out & welcome to the Adobe community. Lightroom mobile does not have the option to replace/remove backgrounds in images. You can remove spots & unwanted objects in Lightroom mobile using the Heal & Clone tools.

            You can learn more about them here: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-cc/using/edit-photos-mobile-android.html

             

            Let us know if you have any more questions!

            Nikunj
