True Tone/Night Shift does not automatically turns off

I noticed that on iPhone/iPad, when Lightroom is opened, True Tone does not automatically turn off. In an older thread, it seems like Lightroom used to do that? So this might be a regression (or it never did)?

 

Apple has a plist key called UIWhitePointAdaptivityStyle that Adobe can set so the device will automatically turn off Night Shift/True Tone to achieve constant white point. For a professional photo editing tool, I think this is essential. 

 

Would be great if such implementation could be considered (seems like a one line code change!) 🙂

Would be great if it got automatically turned off as this is a feature you absolutely never want to enable but my guess is that they are not doing it as it would cause 1000's of complaints that people's images look differently in Lightroom.app then they do in instagram, safari, etc.

Anyway, this has never been a feature and Lightroom has never turned off these color changing modes automatically as far as I know.

Can someone at Adobe confirm whether or not this already happens by default? I'm not sure you'd be able to see the system iOS setting change for an app level setting.
