Fresh Look, Faster Editing: Google Snapseed 3.0 Lands on iPhone and iPad

What’s changed, how it helps—and why Android users should pay attention.

By Rodger Mansfield, Technology Editor

June 14, 2025

Ever opened Snapseed on your iPhone lately and wondered if you’d accidentally launched a preview of iOS 26?

That’s no glitch.

Here's a Cool Tip: Check out the updated Snapseed photo editor for iPhone and iPads.

Google has given its beloved reactive photo editor—not updated much since 2021—an all‑new face with version 3.0

We first told you about this amazing photo editing software way back in 2015.

For business users, educators, and productivity enthusiasts who use image editing as part of their workflow, this refresh brings both aesthetic elegance and real efficiency.

What You’ll Gain

• Save editing time with customizable “Faves” tools

• Boost quality using enhanced RAW/JPG handling and vintage filters

• Enjoy smoother workflows thanks to UI layout optimized for quick taps

What’s New in Snapseed 3.0

Google’s Snapseed 3.0 is rolling out to iPhone and iPad, introducing major changes:

Faves tab at the bottom toolbar to pin your most-used tools.
Toolbar redesign: “Looks” stays left, “Tools” moves to bottom-right, while “Export” shifts to the top-right corner.
Grid of recent edits on the home screen and a floating “+” action button to start quick edits.
New vintage-style filters and better RAW and JPG editing tools.
Arc-style adjustment controls replace straight sliders, making precision tweaking more tactile .

It’s the first major overhaul since the dark‑mode release in 2021.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Here's how to do it.

iOS

Download Snapseed from the App Store.
Open Snapseed, tap the “+” floating action button at the bottom center.
Browse your photo library, choose an image.
Use the toolbar: Looks (left) → Faves (center) → Tools (right).
In Tools, scroll through categories: Adjust, Retouch, Style, Creative.
Tap tool, then adjust using arc controller at the bottom or swipe directly.
Export via the top-right button and choose format and quality.

Android

Not yet available.
However, older version is available HERE.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

Faster workflows: “Faves” keeps your go-to filters/tools ready - ideal for busy journalists or teachers prepping images.
Higher-quality results: RAW support and vintage filters expand creative potential.
Modern UI: The grid and FAB streamline entry points for editing.

Cons:

Android users feel left out: No update confirmed yet.
Learning curve: Arc controls and relocated Export could slow seasoned users initially.
Odd placement: Export’s new location up top isn’t intuitive at first glance.

Who Can Use It

Available now on iPhone and iPad via the App Store with no cost—intended for general public, educators, business users, and creative professionals using iOS. Android users: stay tuned—no update yet.

Key Takeaways

Snapseed 3.0 gives a fresh, efficient UI with pinned tools, better access, and refined controls.

It speeds up workflows for professionals while improving photo quality. Android users, however, still wait.

Try It Yourself

Try it now: update Snapseed and explore Faves with your most-used tools. Comment below with your favorite combination, subscribe for daily tips, and share this one with your team.

Apple Fixes Emergency Security Update

Apple released an emergency Rapid Emergency Response software update earlier this week for iOS, iPadOS and macOS.

And then it promptly had to pull it because it broke several popular websites like Facebook.

So now a revised set of updates for Apple Operating Systems has been released.

Apple reports that new updates are now available:

iOS 16.5.1 (c) and iPadOS 16.5.1 (c)
Released July 12, 2023
Rapid Security Responses iOS 16.5.1 (c) and iPadOS 16.5.1 (c) include the security content of Rapid Security Responses iOS 16.5.1 (a) and iPadOS 16.5.1 (a) and fix an issue that prevents some websites from displaying properly.

Since his is only the second emergency software update that Apple has released, it must be fixing an important exploit.

So it's a good time to go ahead and apply the security patch.

For iPad or iPhone, go to Settings, General, Software Update to apply this emergency update.

That's it!

We've all experienced the frustration of having to solve CAPTCHA puzzles while using mobile apps.

But what if there was a way to minimize or even eliminate these time-consuming and often annoying security measures?

Here's a Cool Tip: Let's your iPhone or iPad automatically verify for you.

With the introduction of iOS 16, Apple has introduced a groundbreaking feature called Automatic Verification, which aims to streamline user experiences by reducing the need for CAPTCHA.

It's easy for humans to solve, but hard for bots and other malicious software to figure out.

Where's My iPhone (or iPad) ???

Where's My Phone? Is it at home? Is it in the car? Is it at the office?

Losing track of a smart phone or tablet can be very annoying. For many, smart phones are now almost an extension of our self. Our phones are never more than a few feet, or even inches, away from us at any point during the day.

Every now and then disaster strikes and we misplace our phones.

If this happens to you, don't panic.

Both Apple iPhones and Google Android make it easy to locate a lost phone.

Today's Cool Tip will show how to locate an iPhone. We'll cover Android in a coming Cool Tip.

Before you lose your iPhone!!! - Enable iPhone for "Find My iPhone"

On your iPhone or iPad device's Home screen, tap Settings, then tap iCloud. If needed, sign in to your iCloud account with your Apple ID.
Scroll down and ensure that "Find My iPhone" (or "Find My iPad") is turned on. If not, tap "Find My iPhone", and then tap to turn it on.
Tap to turn on Send Last Location. This feature will send your device's last location if battery power becomes too low.

Find My iPhone Options - Play Sound, Lost Mode, Erase iPhone

Locate an iPhone or iPad

You can use the "Find My iPhone" app or log in to www.icloud.com/find to locate your device.

Open the "Find My iPhone" app or log in to iCloud and select a device to view its location on a map.
You can choose to have the device "Play a Sound" if it is close where you can hear it.
Turn on "Lost Mode". This will let you lock the device and display a custom message on your phone. Also, your stored credit card information will not be usable on your iPhone while your device is in "lost mode".
You can also "Erase iPhone" if you need to clear all of the data on the phone.

That's it! Rest in peace knowing that if your phone is lost, there's a good chance you'll know where to find it.

How to Restart Your iPhone or iPad

Sometimes it's just the simple things that are so hard to figure out.

And one of the most common questions I get from new iPhone users is, "How Do I Restart?"

Fortunately, it's not too often that an iPhone needs to be restarted. But many believe, as do I, that a restart from time to time will cure all computer ills.

"Restart and call me in the morning!"

If possible, before a restart, close all open apps to ensure that all files are saved. (Double tap the Home button and then swipe up on each open app to close. If there are files open, visit each app to save any work in progress).

So here's the quick tip on restarting an iPhone or iPad:

How to Restart an iPhone or iPad:

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears on the screen.

Drag the slider button to the right to turn your device completely off.

After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo appear.

If for some really reason your iPhone hangs and does not respond, you can force a restart as a last resort.

How to Force a Restart an iPhone or iPad:

To force restart your device, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home button for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo appear.

If you find that a specific app is the cause of a frozen iPhone, be sure to go to the app's iTunes store page. In most cases, developers are anxious to learn about bugs in their apps and will post an email for bug reports. Or leave a review to alert them to a specific issue. And it is most helpful if the specific conditions are relayed so they can replicate and resolve for the next app update.

Bing App for iPad Gets It Right

While Google may still rule the world, Microsoft is still a mighty contender.

And the Microsoft search engine has taken on both with its recent Bing app for the iPad.

The free app is rich in details and graphics. It "gets" the beauty of the iPad.

Bing graphically shows the areas that you most want to access from a portable tablet: News, Weather, Movies, Movies, Trends, and Finance.

The new app is available in the Apple iTunes Store HERE.

Sadly, the Google app for the iPad looks like it's from 1995. Dull and boring. Uh oh.

And while Apple's native Safari browser is a good tool, you'll find yourself using the new Bing app for iPad for many more uses.

Check out Bings video on its new app:

Flip Out on Flipboard for the iPad

Flipboard for the Apple iPad is the best app for the iPad. Period.

Flipboard is how we should get all of our information on a tablet computer.

It's what futurists have predicted for years: personalized, interactive digital content that updates instantly in a magazine format.

The app the iPad allows users to include content from Facebook, Twitter, Google Reader, Flickr as well as content from a growing list of news sites.

After a few minutes of viewing your daily content as a digital magazine, you'll be hooked.

Maybe it's a stretch to say this is the only reason to buy an iPad. But it's sure a great reason.
