iphone 11 ios 14.2    I get a notification saying LR is using camera access to control cameras on my network. That is a problem to begin with, LR should never do that. EVER. Funny thing is, I'm not at home and I'm not connected to a wifi network. Only my Tmobile cellular. Then I open LR and there is a photo I have not taken. I know my phone is not hacked and no one has access to the phone so WTF?

Lightroom is not asking to browse your network or control cameras on your network -- the app does not do that.  Are you connecting your phone to a camera or SD card via card reader?  That dialog is asking permission to access a connected device to import images.

 

If this isn't what you're actually doing, can you provide any other info about what workflows you are using? 

 

"Then I open LR and there is a photo I have not taken"

..The only things I see as possible reasons for this:

* you have Auto Import set in app settings, and the image you didn't capture got on your camera roll in some other way

* someone gained access to your account -- please be safe and change your password immediately!
