How to Force an Update to LR Mobile 6.3?

[stevevp]

Lightroom Version Number

6.2.2

Operating System

1. iOS

I can't believe I'm having to ask this basic question, but I can't find a way to update my iPad from LR Mobile 6.2.2 to 6.3 either in the LR or the CC apps.

Under LR's Settings/What's New there's an announcement dated 7 June about the new features but LR has not updated itself which I thought it did automatically.

Thanks in anticipation for your advice.

Start the Apple Store app. That is where you update apps. Automatic updates may be turned off.

Thanks Johan but I'm not sure what I do next! If I click on Adobe Lightroom for iPad (in the App Store) it just takes me to my LR 6.2.2. Where do I turn on automatic updates?

Tap on your account icon in the upper right corner (the zebra in my example). If there is an update, you should see it in the screen that comes up (at the bottom).

That'll be it! I guess it was queued?
Thanks very much Johan.

OK, all updated but no sign of the new Presets button which what I was interested in trying. I am signed in to the App. Any ideas please?

There isn't a "new presets" button, just the old one which now should have two tabs: Library and Premium. The new presets are the ones under the Premium tab, and are only available to subscription users (which I assume you are?).

Normally, I would advise this procedure too, However, my update list says that I updated Lightroom today and yet the version listed in "About" is reading v6.2.2 still

Force quit Lightroom and start it again. The old version may still be in memory.

I did that. All apps need to be restarted after an update. I have not restarted the iPhone. I’ll try that next

After restarting the iPhone, v6.2.2 was still the app. I deleted the app from my phone and downloaded again from the App Store. This time I got v6.3

iOS App Store Updates roll out on a gradual basis and take ~ 5 days to reach everyone. You can normally go into the App Store and search for an app and force the update but auto updates are at the mercy of Apple's App Store lottery.

Android has a similar roll out (7 days) but there is no way to force an update manually.

Sorry, been out all day. My iPad has updated to 6.3, I'm a subscriber (LR+PS+1TB) and I'm signed in. Still no sign of any presets unless I'm looking in the wrong place.

Yes you are....the presets tab is the second icon down (immediately below the basic Edit tab that you have selected in your screenshot).
