A version for iPhone is available as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday, we\u2019re rolling out Snapseed 4.0 on Android, bringing a new look and feel, and a bunch of new tools and capabilities,\u201d Google vice president of Photos, One, and AI subscriptions Shimrit Ben-Yair tweeted.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what\u2019s new:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Completely updated user interface.<\/strong> Snapseed 4.0 features a \u201cmore modern and fun\u201d user interface that makes editing faster, easier, and more powerful.<\/p>\n<p><strong>New capabilities.<\/strong> The app now supports non-destructive and batch editing, Snapseed camera, and smart masking.<\/p>\n<p><strong>New tools.<\/strong> Snapseed 4.0 now includes Color HSL, Dehaze, Halation, and Bloom tools.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Updates to existing tools.<\/strong> The existing tools have also been updated. For example, Film now includes new styles that emulate some of the most popular historical film stocks.<\/p>\n<p>For those on the iPhone, Snapseed has been updated to version 4.0 and it includes the new user interface, the new Halation and Bloom tools, and other changes.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been years since I\u2019ve used Snapseed, though I was a fan at one time and will check it out again. Snapseed was originally created by a third party, Nik Software, for the iPad in 2011, and it was ported to the iPhone shortly thereafter. There was even a version for Windows, though I don\u2019t believe it\u2019s been updated in a while. Google acquired the company in 2012 and released the first Android version.<\/p>\n<p>You can download Snapseed 4.0 for Android from the Google Play Store and the iPhone version from the Apple App Store.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thurrott.com\/mobile\/android\/335845\/google-releases-snapseed-4-0-for-android-ios\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google Releases Snapseed 4.0 for Android, iOS https:\/\/www.thurrott.com\/mobile\/android\/335845\/google-releases-snapseed-4-0-for-android-ios Publish Date: 2026-05-08 18:25:00 Source Domain: www.thurrott.com&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":241995,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thurrott-assets.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/05\/snapseed-4-android.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[70],"class_list":["post-241994","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-android","tag-google"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241994"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=241994"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241994\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":241996,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241994\/revisions\/241996"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/241995"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=241994"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=241994"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=241994"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
