White Balance issue in Lightroom Mobile on Pixel 7a

Good evening everyone! I'm here to ask if anyone has had the same problem as me. I own a Google Pixel 7a with Android 14 installed and Lightroom's version should also be the newest one.

 

Recently, whenever I try it my raw files, Lightroom Mobile seems to be having problems with the White Balance options: whenever I set one of the default options such as Automatic, Daylight, Cloudy, Tungsten etc they all give my photos a green-ish tone which obviously has nothing to do with the photo itself. (You can see some examples in the files attached, I've uploaded how the unedited RAW file looks+how it looks with Automatic and Daylight settings) 

 

Moreover, this problem happens only with photos taken with the phone, while it works just fine when editing photos taken with my DSLR and imported on Lightroom or when editing photos taken from the Lightroom camera.

 

I also tried using another app like Snapseed and there the white balance options don't give the same results.

What could be the cause of this? Thank you in advance to anyone who'll answer.

These presets will set the Tint to +10, which is completely arbitrary. That means they will work fine for many cameras, but can create a green or magenta cast on some cameras. Create your own presets if you have such a camera.
