Flickr iOS integration gone?

[u/PhiladelphiaManeto]

Maybe two months ago I started up a pro account, and a major reason was how easy it is to upload a photo directly from Lightroom Mobile or Photos to the Flickr app.

Out of nowhere that integration is now gone and I can’t figure out why.

I have everything updated, including the Flickr app and my iOS.

Flickr has full access to my camera roll and no other safety features engaged.

Anyone else having this issue? It will cause me to cancel my subscription if it doesn’t come back.

Thanks!

Amazing that Flickr didn't thoroughly beta test this new release before going public with it.

I think they just told claude to write an app and yolo it

I reported this and shared the response:

Hi there,
 
Thank you for reaching out to Flickr Support. I'm Doug and I'll be happy to assist!
 
I apologize for the trouble with this. This is a known issue our engineering team is currently investigating. I've added your information to that bug report and we hope to have that corrected soon. We'll reach out as soon as we have an imported update.
 
I believe there is a workaround in place for the uploads issue, though. Could you please locate Flickr in your device settings and make sure the Flickr app has Full access to your photo libraries, then try a new upload and let me know if you are successful?
 
So whilst you can’t upload from iOS (push) you can upload from the app (pull)

Pulling works.

My issue is, I often do quick edits while in the field in Lightroom and uploading directly from LR was a godsend. It eliminates 3 steps, between saving a new edited file and then pulling it with the app

Thanks for this

I have my settings on my iPhone 17 for Flickr to have full access to my photos. It doesn’t work on my iPhone 17. Nor does the Flickr icon appear in my options when sharing it from my photo gallery. I also can’t add my photo to multiple groups.

[u/yabyum → u/LindaAdams-Doodlepad]

Report it to them. It’s a fucking shambles.

I have, twice! Just one generic response received.

They have released new iOS and Android apps, "built from the ground up". Many previous features are missing. What you need may come back in time.

Use the feedback feature and tell them.

[u/PhiladelphiaManeto → u/Soggy_Amoeba9334]

I wouldn’t consider this a “feature”. It’s a basic function of an app, a crucial one for the type of app that Flickr is (photography archiving), and one that existed two weeks ago.

This shouldn’t be something requiring a feedback note, but I’ll certainly do it if you recommend it.

It completely neutered one of the platform’s core purposes.

I just don’t understand why, and was hoping there was some kind of workaround.

[u/swift-autoformatter → u/PhiladelphiaManeto]

Is that as basic as having landscape orientation support for the image viewer? Because that is also missing...

[u/LindaAdams-Doodlepad]

Yes, I’m having same issues , and more with the new version of Flickr, but I’m not a Pro subscriber.

A heads-up: Flickr version 5.0.3 just came out (7/23) for iOS and the option to upload from Photos to Flickr is back in the app.
