Photos From Phone Appear In Lightroom

Hi, maybe I've missed something. But somehow photos from my phone have been synced to my Adobe Lightroom library. It's not all of the photos, but it's a good number. I've never manually uploaded any photos from my phone to the Adobe cloud, nor have I turned on automatic syncing. If this is a setting I can turn off, how do I do so?

    Hello @Kema Newton 

     

    You can always disable automatic import for subscribed accounts in app settings so that images will no longer be automatically imported and sync.

     

    However, I wonder if this is a misunderstanding.  If you are looking at the Device tab, those are simply your camera roll photos.  Lightroom is displaying those for easy access, but is not necessarily importing those.  If you hop over to the Lightroom tab, perhaps specifically choosing the All Photos album from the drop-down menu... those are the images that Lightroom has actually imported.

    Assuming you have Lightroom Mobile installed then unless sync is paused, any photos taken by or imported into Lightroom Mobile will sync to the Cloud.


    Alsi check in Lightroom Mobile's settings that Auto Import isn't t turned on
