Why is my Lightroom UI different than others?

Sorry for the vague title, I don't know how else to describe it. When I see videos/screenshots of others' Lightroom on iPad Pro, it looks like this:

Note the desktop-like layout, where Home, Shared, and Community are at the top.

 

However, mine looks like it's laid out the same as the iPhone version:

 

Does anyone know why? (And no it's not an 11in vs. 12.9in iPad thing, I've seen YouTubers with their 11-in iPad also having the proper, desktop-like layout).

I have the new M4 iPad Pro, if that makes any difference.

The first screenshot is from a previous version of Lightroom Mobile. Your second screenshot shows the current version.

    Oh wow, so the "big iPhone" layout is actually the new one? I wonder why Adobe regressed here, the big ugly tab bar is such a waste of space...

    I wouldn't call it a "regression", it's simply a UI change made to incorporate the new feature of being able to view, edit and delete images in the Apple camera roll directly from within the Lightroom app.
