Then why does it says the address will br expired?

It's an expiration date of an "invoice" and not your address.
I see, I didn't think from that view, nor I used any address from this wallet due to the confusion.
You can just turn off the expiration date next to the trashcan if you don't want to expire your receiving address.
Got it now, I thought it was expiration clock only. Since LN is implemented, I was a bit worried although the address itself was enough to be sure that it has ni connection with LN. I have my seed backed up and most importantly, this is just a throw away wallet I have created to check out the latest update on Electrum.
Thank you guys.

They added this since 2.1 version and they change the design of the receive tab and remove the address under "Bitcoin Address".

If you want to see all of your receiving addresses, tap the 3 dots on the top right then tap addresses. You can click the address that you requested under addresses and make a private key backup to make sure you are safe if you are going to send BTC in your wallet(It won't be a problem if you already have a seed backup).

I think it's trying to make the window look like the lightning network one so they don't have to design two.

Itll make the qr code expire in wallets that check expiry and the wallet won't expect to be receiving it but it won't change anything...

It's an expiration date of an "invoice" and not your address. It doesn't have any impact on your wallet. I guess it is supposed to make it easier for some people to see which payments are overdue. The desktop version also behaves like that. You can change the expiration time by clicking the button next to 'Clear'.

Recently, I had installed the new version of my wallet in my old phone just to check out what's the update all about since it has implemented Lightning Network. The below image is screenshot of my receive tab. I'm confused, why the address have a notification of expired in 1 day? Or why other address says expired. This addresses are legacy address and I'm sure it has nothing to do with Lightning Network. Then why does it says the address will br expired?
