Google has updated the iPhone version of its photo editing app Snapseed with its own camera, including a suite of manual controls and retro film emulation effects. It’s the second major update to the app in less than 12 months, after it had previously been left to languish by Google for years. The Snapseed camera defaults to an automatic mode, but also includes optional controls for ISO, shutter speed, and focus, along with flash and zoom. Google surprised us by updating Snapseed to version 3.0 in June 2025, with a major redesign and new features — the app’s first significant update since adding dark mode in 2021, following years of spotty support since Snapseed was acquired in 2012. That update is yet to reach the Android version, though the developers confirmed on Reddit that it’s in the works but still “a few months” away.
