Below are some additional tips for working with Lightroom Mobile:

If you tap on the slider in Lightroom mobile, (not on the circle, but on the slider itself), it will nudge the slider in small increments

Click the cloud icon to the right of the Module picker in Lightroom Classic and choose Sync FAQ for more information about syncing to the cloud from Lightroom Classic. 

When capturing photographs using the camera within Lightroom mobile, holding down the volume key will capture in burst mode.

When capturing photographs using the camera within Lightroom mobile, the photographs are stored within the Lightroom app until they have time to be uploaded to the cloud. After the photographs are uploaded, launching Lightroom Classic on the desktop, will automatically start the images downloading to a default location on your local machine. You can change the default location by selecting Preferences > Lightroom Sync. In the Location area, click Choose… and navigate to your preferred location. Note: you can also have Lightroom automatically create subfolders based on capture date.

The Sync Experience ­­— The cloud icon in the Module picker enables quick access to the sync status of your images. Hovering over the cloud icon while sync is progress displays the number of assets currently being synced. Click the Cloud icon to display additional options and details based on the current state of sync. Eight icons revel insight into the state of your files:

1) Sync is On. Everything is Synced and Backed up. 2) Sync in progress. 3) Sync is Paused. 4) Catalog is Not Synced. 5) Network is not connected. 6) Your cloud storage is almost full.  7) Your cloud storage is full. 8) There are some errors.

Deleted Synced Files — While there isn’t a “Deleted Files Bin” in Lightroom Classic like there is in Lightroom Mobile, and Lightroom Web, any synced photos that you un-sync from Lightroom Classic will still end up in the Deleted Files bin shared by the other clients.
