OK, that last link is helpful. You are trying to open a DNG file (which is a photo) that has settings applied. Then, using the photo's settings, you create a new preset based on that photo. That's clever, although a little bit of a lengthy process.

When you open the DNG from your mail, and tap the "Share" icon, do you see Lightroom CC listed? What happens when you choose it?

At that point, your phone should automatically switch over to Lightroom with the new photo displayed. Can you tell us exactly what happens when you try this?

I'm specifically referring to Step 5 of the instruction page you linked.

Open an image in Edit and go to presets. You may have a sub-section selected e.g. Color with a downward pointing v chevron. Click on the word color (see image below) and scroll down to User presets. You should also see all the other categories above it.

Have you downloaded the app from the app store?

You need to select a photo and tap on Edit. All the buttons, including presets appear at the bottom.
