Using the standard camera app, I can switch between the three lenses of my Pixel 8 Pro fairly easily, by simply zooming using pinch gesture or by selecting 2x, 5x etc. However, I've been unable to find a way to do this within the Lightroom Mobile app. is it possible? I can obviously import from the Photos app and thus access the various lenses that way, but it would be nice to be able to do so within Lightroom.

This is true. By the way, the easiest way to select the lens in the standard camera app is by going to PRO mode and set lens selection to manual. You can then select Ultra-wide, Wide or Tele, as required.

Ah - that's better than the gesture-based method I was using. Thanks for that, I hadn't discovered it yet, even though I've used Pro mode.

I still find it odd that Lightroom doesn't allow lens selection, but hey-ho, that's life.

My iPhone 16 Pro Max has (as you will all know) three lenses. Lightroom Mobile can select all three. The thing it can't do is the stepped Zoom.

How does that lens selection function appear in the LR mobile UI?

Simple lens icon - for W (default), UW, then T

My previous iPhone 12 Pro Max used to work the same until a software update that Apple did, that Adobe then didn't update on - meaning I lost my UW (so since then I often use the Camera App!)
