In-app learning and inspiration | Lightroom for mobile (Android)

Last updated on Aug 14, 2024 | Also applies to Adobe Lightroom Mobile

Lightroom not only empowers you to create beautiful images and express your vision, but it helps you become a better photographer with new ways to get inspired and grow your skills right in the app. You can also browse different categories of inspirational photos by fellow photography members and select them to open and see how the image was edited, step-by-step. You can also save the edits as a preset.

Starting with the October 2023 release of Lightroom for mobile (version 9.0), Discover will be renamed to Community.

Community tab in Lightroom lets you share your photos to community — Community tab in Lightroom for mobile (Android)

Alert:

Starting with the June 2023 release of Lightroom for mobile (version 8.4), the Learn tab and Lightroom Tutorials will no longer be supported in Lightroom for mobile. You can check out Lightroom Academy and enhance your photography skills by accessing educational content, tips, and more.

You can still access the tutorials in Lightroom on desktop.
