Hi, I have Lightroom mobile, the free version, and am trying to use presets I just purchased. When I click on a preset to use it, it says: “This preset includes edit that cannot be applied to this photo. All of the compatible enhancements from this preset will be applied to your photo.” (see attached photo) Is that because I don’t have the paid version or what’s the reason for that? Thanks

It means just what it says, i.e. it's only a "Partially Compatible Preset", likely because it will contain some setting which is not compatible with the image you are trying to apply it to. Often that would be because it contains a specific profile which cannot be applied to the image, either because the image is a jpeg (can't apply different profiles to a jpeg) or because it's a camera-specific profile and the image is a raw file shot with a different camera.
