Google’s Snapseed still remains to be one of the most popular photo editing apps available, but it doesn’t mean that users are already satisfied with it. As long as we keep seeing new apps with new features crop up, we will expect continuous updates even from our favorites. The latest one for version 2.18 of the Android app brings an overhaul of its user interface, bringing users easy access to Looks, and even giving 11 new presets to choose from.
Apps need to have a makeover every once in a while, and as long as it doesn’t mess with the main dynamic, users usually welcome a fresh interface with open arms, or rather, fingers. This new version has a light theme, which is something that users have been asking for. It also brings “more efficient access to your favorite features” therefore making editing your photos a bit faster.
Looks, which lets you save your combination of edits, is now accessible from the main menu so you can easily apply it to the photo or photos that you are editing. There are also 11 new presets in case you’re too busy to do your edits manually (even though manual edits is one of the reasons why Snapseed is popular). These were “handcrafted by the Snapseed” team and includes things like Fine Art, Push, Structure, Silhouette so you can have more styles to choose from.
The update has started rolling out to users. Update your Snapseed from its Google Play page.

One of the worst updates I’ve ever seen, and not by an indie dev, but Google themselves! Who exactly has been asking for a light UI when more & more phones save amoled screens or when no pro apps have that? The UX/UI developer should sacked on the spot for this. You are completely wrong on this, just take a look on Playstore since the update. I uninstalled, downloaded and installed the previous version and turned off updates…
Absolutely awful update! I had just started using Sanpseed and loved it. Now I’ll have to find something else. Really bad update.
I’ve been using Snapseed for years and really enjoyed it, up till now. I expected more professional features to eventually be included, now that even midrange phones have lots of RAM and fast CPU/GPU. Pity that Google went down instead of up – who needs yet another bunch of filters (not even somehow special), a truly unprofessional white background and a squeezed UI. Uninstalled a few days after the update, installed the old version from apkmirror and disabled auto-update. I sincerely hope that someone from Google reads reviews posted on the Play Store – nothing positive there (for the latest release).
