Google is gearing up to revive Snapseed on Android, and I couldn't be more excited

The Snapseed app for iOS on an iPhone Air.

Snapseed, the forgotten photo editor from Google that surprisingly started receiving major updates for the iOS app last year, is officially alive and well. After lying dormant without significant updates for years, Google shipped a major Snapseed 3.0 release in June 2025 with a redesigned editor and grid photo layout. Regular updates keep coming in, but only for the iOS app, with the latest one introducing a "Snapseed Camera" feature with retro film filters.

It's safe to say that Snapseed is officially back. The app is clearly getting attention at Google, with iOS updates coming at a solid pace and Android updates confirmed to be on the way. At a time when filters and nostalgic, anti-processing camera apps like Zerocam or Halide Process Zero are gaining buzz, Snapseed has the potential to be something special.
