Lightroom for iPad No Longer Remembers Editing Position on Reopen

When I open Adobe Lightroom for iPad it no longer remembers where I was last editing. Every time it just opens to the top. So, being that i have almost 30,000 images in my Lightroom, and if I'm editing 5,000 photos deep, it no longer remembers that and I have to scroll down and find it each time I open Lightroom. I removed the app and reinstalled it, and it's still doing the same thing.

I hope this is an error and not a new feature. I have no desire to use a cloud based system that can't remember where I left off.

I posted about this a few weeks ago and it was fixed. However, it's doing it again.

IPad Air 5 (M1 chip)

iOS 18.3.1

When closing the app it usually remembers where I last edited. Now, it always returns to the top when I reopen the app. With over 25,000 photos it is getting really annoying having to scroll back down to where I left off each time. Last time I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it, but it didn't help so I haven't done it again.

Hello @BlueRidgeButler
Thanks for reaching out to us -- I apologize for the slow response.

Are you seeing this in All Photos? Or when in album or specific view like Imports, Your Edits, People, etc?

Also, do you have any sorting applied, other than the default sort order?

And can you confirm the app version you are using (as shown in the app's Settings screen)?
