I have deleted some photos on LRC and I want them removed from my iPhone as well. Is there a proper way to do that?

It depends where they are stored on the iPhone. If they are in Photos/Camera Roll then there is no way to sync the removal of those images from LrC, you would have to do that manually. If, however, they were synced to/from LrMobile on the iPhone using the Adobe cloud, then deleting a synced image from LrC will also delete it from LrMobile (but any copies still in the Camera Roll will still need to be manually removed).

FWIW, on my iPhone I try to use the camera in the Lightroom app as much as possible. Since using the Photos camera and auto importing into the Lightroom app creates redundant image file copies in the phone itself. If I do use the Photos camera it is usually for some non critical reason and onece the photos have been auto imported into the Lightroom app and the Adobe Cloud, I delete everything in Photos. (I do not use iCloud to share photos, preferring to manage all of my photos in the Adobe Cloud ecosystem.

That is interesting. I didn’t know you could use the Lightroom app to take photos. I was able to do it by Long pressing the icon and then there was an option to take a photo. How do you get the camera app to come up when the Lightroom app is already open?

And I said as much as possible. My iPhone 15 is capable of shooting 48mp RAW images but the Lr app is limited to the 12mp camera.
