For instance, the iOS version can use your phone's camera to create a new image, while the Android version can't do this. While this is the kind of information that is well-documented in Snapseed's generally helpful tutorials, other key controls and gestures - such as pinching to resize the brushes - are not as clearly explained and are often discoverable only by talking with other users or by experimenting.īecause Snapseed is now owned by Google, we were surprised to find that the iOS version of the program is a peg above the Android version.
