When outputting any image from Lightroom mobile directly to any service, the image needs to have, at minimum, a © NAME simple watermark placed upon it. I don't think we need full functionality of the Watermark editor in Lightroom desktop but we do need the minimum functionality of the Simple Watermark in Lightroom's Export dialog. Until there is a way to mark an image, why would anyone consider using LR mobile to post anywhere?
NOTE: The original post was a request for a simple, text based watermark which has been implemented. This thread will continue to be the place to vote for image based watermarks.

Is there watermark for mobiles??

Great idea, Codie! You're not alone.
This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Lightroom Mobile: Add Watermark.
Will the option to add a watermark be added soon?

A popular idea! I merged it with the rest and changed it to an idea to give it more weight.
Thanks, Tiera!
Thanks, Tiera!
Are you joking Rick? This thread itself is 3 years old! How much more "weight" can this change give it? Are you implying that no one at Adobe has looked at this in all that time?
Rikk Flohr, Champion
As the originator of this request, and having previously occupied Rick's current position, I can assure you that Adobe is aware of the request. Every vote helps but prioritization of features is a complex process. Without limitless resources, not everything can be done at once and sometimes it takes a long time.
As a full time pro doing a lot of sessions, it would soooo help my workflow for the mobile system to be an expanded system for my client to select and receive full res images once done. Now, because of only being able to like and comment on images, I often wind up with people selecting a large number of them to work on. If they had access to a rating system that they could filter down, it would allow them to make multiple culling passes. It is also easy to miss if they come back later and like more images. Once I edit the images for my clients, I have to use dropbox or a gallery on my website to get the full res images to them. Would be great to simply trigger a full res upload to them through LR.

Hey, Reggie! It may seem like merging posts is simply burying them but it's how feature requests are prioritized. If we don't merge them they don't get counted.
Whether or not they make it into the next update depends on how many other serious issues precede them. The popular stuff usually makes it sooner of later so go ahead and click that little "Vote" box in the upper right of the screen. That's how it works!
Cheers!

Please make this feature available. Where is the consistency (where appropriate) that Adobe has always advocated?
Cliff, update your app. It's now there!
Where is this within the app? It shows that the app is up to date. Using Google Pixel.
in iOS it's: Settings>Sharing Options>Watermark
Thanks, must be an iOS update. Android has "Preferences" option, not Settings and ability to add a Copyright, but not to customize. Will keep an eye out for someone with Android to get the update.
Awesome, it's really there! Can't believe it :)
Is this an IOS v11 option as it doesn't appear on my up to date IOS v10?
Umm v10 isn’t up to date, ha!
Rick Spaulding, Champion
Maybe you just need to manually check for updates like this:
First click on the three dots...
Does that help?

Looks like my iPad is not compatible with ios 11. A replacement is a bit expensive for just this feature when all other functions work. I personally would prefer the feature to be made to work in LR Classic desktop (Windows). It's there for web galleries so why not with 'Synced collections on the web'?
Rikk Flohr, Champion
Synced Collections are not output files per se' like the Web Galleries. They are designed to be proxies for originals so that you can continue working away from your desktop. A better option might be to get them into the sharing features via the Lightroom web environment.

It is nice to see this implemented!
Victoria Bampton - Lightroom Queen, Champion
It is, but I'm wishing for PNG watermarks... can't close it yet!
Rikk Flohr, Champion
The OP requested it like this! ;-)
Victoria Bampton - Lightroom Queen, Champion
LOL better make my own request then!!
This thread is a combination of about 10 other threads. It has been open for years in some cases. I personally have had my thread combined at least 5 times over the last 3 years. So what the original poster asked for is highly irrelevant at this point considering not all OP requests were tracked as threads were joined.
It's not implemented on Android, so no closing yet.
It is a copywite mark not a watermark. So it shouldn't be closed period. We combined numerous threads into one and Adobe delivered the bare minimum of what one customer asked for.
Rikk Flohr, Champion
Who said it was closed?
A point of correction: A copyright notice can be a watermark.

Can be but isn't in all cases. It may suffice for some but not all of us.

What you type into the field is entirely up to you. It's a text-based watermark, some people choose to put a copyright, others their website, and others their IG handle.
We are still working on a way to add an image in addition to text.
Keep in mind, software, esp on mobile, are designed to evolve over time. Option 1 is wait for a long time to get everything, option 2 is to get parts over time. In this case, that meant that the text-based watermark was possible to be done much more quickly than an image-based one, so for those that can benefit from text only, they can already get the benefit.

@jhaftel. Well, call me when anything is available on Android.
@jhaftel I appreciate that it is a process. And it is a good step forward. The point I was trying to get across is that this was not the ask of many of the requesters that were consolidated to this one thread. In addition we are asking for something that a $1 app on the App Store can do. It cannot be technically difficult.
@jhaftel You said "so for those that can benefit from text only, they can already get the benefit." I don't see anything when I save the edits. My app is updated and is running on Google Pixel phone. Is it apple phone only for now?
Victoria Bampton - Lightroom Queen, Champion
> Is it apple phone only for now?
Yes, iOS only in this initial release

It would be nice to have watermark presets available at the export stage, so we don't have to go from the image in the edit panel back into the settings every time we want to alter it.

Agreed!
How come when the watermark option is selected and an album is shared the watermark isn't applied?
