Select option missing in LR Mobile

[Jennifer314055303w57]

Hello. I recently updated my Lightroom Mobile (v8.4) to the Premium Option, mainly to have the ability to do batch edits. However, the two options I find online to select multiple pictures at one time (using the three dots or doing a long click) don't give me a Select option. If I click the three dots, I only see: Batch Import, Square Grid, Justified Grid, Segment by Capture Date and App Settings. If I long click, the only option I get is "Delete."

I am hoping it's just user error and I'm overlooking something simple. Any ideas? I am using iOS and my phone is fully updated.

Thanks!!

It sounds like your are trying to batch edit photos in the Device tab of the Lightroom Mobile app.  Try this:
1. proceed to select multiple images and then batch import them

2. then switch to the Lightroom tab, and switch to the Imports folder.  This will show you the images you just imported (sorted by import time by default)

3. For easier batch editing, maybe select and add these same photos, to a new album, and later also add the "source" image with the edits you want to copy to the same album

4. then, in the album select+Copy the image you want edits copied from, and then select the other images to apply edits, and choose Paste.
