Adobe Lightroom version 5.4 for iOS devices DELETES customer photos!!

  Adobe  has announced that users who updated Lightroom to version 5.4 may have lost all photos, presets, edits, watermarks, etc.

 Adobe apologizes, says there is no way to recover unless costumers had backup in Adobe cloud or other backup.

We are aware that some customers who updated to Lightroom 5.4.0 on iPhone and iPad may be missing photos and presets that were not synced to the Lightroom cloud.

A new version of Lightroom mobile (5.4.1) for iOS and iPadOS has now been released that prevents this issue from affecting additional customers.

Installing version 5.4.1 will not restore missing photos or presets for customers affected by the problem introduced in 5.4.0.

We know that some customers have photos and presets that are not recoverable. We sincerely apologize to any customers who have been affected by this issue.

Is it Zoom, or is it me?

 Zoom is experiencing  widespread outages in parts of the USA today (24-Aug-2020).
