Back in June, Google surprisingly released Snapseed 3.0 for iOS, and has now confirmed that the new version is coming to Android.
At the end of December, the Snapseed team shared on Reddit that they have “started working on updating Snapseed on Android.” Development got underway in November and the new release is “still a few months away.”
For all the Android users, please let us know if there is anything that you’d really like to see in the app.
The Snapseed 3.0 update on iPhone and iPad introduced a complete redesign of the photo editor (and new icon). The app had gone years without a major update and seemed to be abandoned in favor of Google Photos.
This new interface has an actual homepage that shows pictures you’ve edited in a grid. Tap the circular FAB (floating action button) to open the system image picker. The editor is organized into three tabs:
- Looks: Preset filters with the ability to add your own
- Faves: Up to four tools can appear here
- Tools: Grid view with access to everything

Wish it was integrated with Google Photo's, it's tools are pretty good and particularly like the aspect perspective options and often just forget to use Snapseed as it's a standalone app.
You still drag left or right to adjust the value, but there’s now a dial-based controller. Available tools include:
- Adjust & Correct: Adjust, Details, Tonality, Curves, White Balance, Color, Lens Blur, Vignette
- Retouch & Transform: Selective, Brush, Healing, Portrait, Crop, Perspective, Expand, Head Pose
- Style: Film, Glow, Retrolux, Vintage, Black & White, HDR Scape, Drama, Noir, Grunge
- Creative: Double Exposure, Frames, and Text
Meanwhile, the iOS app recently gained a Snapseed Camera with retro film filters.
It’s a shame that this update wasn’t released to both platforms at the same time, but confirmation it’s coming to Android helps. Hopefully, the gap doesn’t end up being a full year.
Thanks Nick
