Google just released the first major Snapseed update in years


Google has completely revamped its Snapseed image editing app on iPhone and iPad. The change, spotted earlier by 9to5Google, is Snapseed’s first big update on iOS since adding dark mode in 2021.
Snapseed was originally only available on iOS before Google acquired it in 2012 as part of a bid to compete with Instagram. Google later launched Snapseed on Android and made the app free to use. Along with several tools for tweaking RAW and JPG files, Snapseed also offers several filters, including some new vintage ones added with this latest update.
The new 3.0 update gives Snapseed a new look on iOS, bringing a new “Faves” option to the center of the bottom toolbar and allowing you to save specific tools. The “Looks” tab stays in the same spot on the left side of the toolbar, while Google replaced the “Export” option with “Tools” on the right. As noted by 9to5Google, the “Export” is now in the top-right corner.
“We’re bringing a whole new look and feel to Snapseed on iOS,” Google spokesperson Michael Marconi said in a statement to The Verge. “There are so many people who have loved using Snapseed to edit their photos over the years, so we’re giving it a fresh look with a more intuitive layout and a few new features.”
It doesn’t appear that the update is coming to Snapseed on Android at the same time as iOS, as Marconi said Google doesn’t “have anything to share yet.”
