Despite multiple community forum discussions over many years by now, there's still no update of LRM for left handers in Android. I think it's high time Adobe considers this tiny feedback and does something about it. It's not even that complicated since iOS already has it.

Shame on you, Adobe. This, to me is bordering on willful neglect and discrimination. 10% of all people are left handed. 

You already made it possible on iOS. Now do android please!

Ich bin Linkshänder und nutzt auf meinem Tablett Lightroom. Hier wäre eine Version für Linkshänder ziemlich Nice, bei dem die Einstellungen in der Bild Bearbeitung einfach auf der linken Seite wäre.

Hello, I recently start using lightroom mobile and do thing come to mind while.using it. 

 

The first is a feature that apparently exist on the iPad version but for some reason is still not on the android version : give the possibility to move the editing panel to the left. So people who.are left handed can use it confortably. 

 

Second is more a personal preference but when I move a slider the whole panel dissappear. To me.id don't look great or useful and on my tablet (Samsung S9 ultra) it have a slight delay when panel dissappear and reappear.

Left handed users of Lightroom Mobile need left sided controls on the tablet version of Lightroom Mobile!
I use a Samsung tablet with the S Pen and have to reach across the photo I'm editing to adjust settings - this seems like a very simple fix!

When are Adobe going to bring in the option for a left handed tool bar for lightroom Android users? It is absolutely ridiculous that i have to struggle with my editing while ipad users don't! 

Please sort this out

A left handed ui for the mobile version would be nice for those who are like me a leftie. So the dont have their whole hand over the screen making adjustments

You've also tagged your post "iPad" - iPad already has this feature.

I've been seeing people post requests for this since AT LEAST early 2019. The fact that iPad users get this ability, but not Android is asinine and honestly getting me close to not using Adobe products anymore. I'm even willing to bet that the Adobe user base has a higher percentage of lefties than the general populace (between 10% and 12%) since lefties are more likely creatives. This shouldn't be something we are still begging for.
