Issue with Exported Images Showing Wrong Date in Lightroom Mobile on iOS

Hi!

I'm using the latest version of iOS on my iPhone and Lightroom mobile.

When I export an image from Lightroom to the iPhone's photo gallery, the image shows the export date instead of the original capture date. I've checked and confirmed that all export settings in Lightroom are correct. I've tried different export methods, but the issue persists. The rest of the EXIF information remains intact; only the date is being modified. What could be causing this problem? Is it possible that the iPhone is changing the date due to the app? Any suggestions on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.

I have the exact same issue since updating to iOS 18.

 Most likely the explanation is that the iOS image gallery shows the file creation date, not the camera capture date. MacOS does this, so I would not be surprised if iOS does it too.
