Nothing's bare-bones gallery app scores a major upgrade as Phone 3 launch draws closer
C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Nothing has rolled out a significant update for its native gallery app. The update introduces new editing tools for cropping, color grading, and adding filters to images. Nothing Gallery now also features a native video editor that lets you trim clips, adjust volume, and adjust slow-mo video speed. Nothing introduced a native gallery app to its devices with Nothing OS 3.0 last year, offering users an alternative to third-party gallery apps like Google Photos. The app was pretty barebones at launch, featuring a minimal interface and basic photo management tools. Now, Nothing is rolling out a major update that brings some much-needed image and video manipulation tools. Nothing CEO Carl Pei announced the update on X earlier today, highlighting all the included changes. For starters, the Nothing Gallery update brings tools for basic image adjustments, including six cropping and rotation tools. It also introduces a color grading option with twelve tuning parameters and ten Nothing-design filters with intensity adjustments. Nothing has also baked in a basic video editor that lets you trim clips, adjust the volume, and tweak slow-mo video speed. Both the image and video editors have fairly minimalistic interfaces, with tools split across three tabs in the former and two in the latter. Each tool offers subtle haptic feedback for an intuitive user experience. The Nothing Gallery update even brings some performance improvements, with Nothing claiming that transitioning 'from the camera to Gallery is now over 20% faster, with image processing up to 25% quicker.' Additionally, Nothing has introduced AI-powered photo categorization and a unified visual experience that looks more native to Nothing OS. The Nothing Gallery update will begin rolling out via the Google Play Store today, and it should reach all eligible devices by tomorrow. It arrives as Nothing is gearing up to launch its first true flagship, the Nothing Phone 3. The company is expected to announce the device early next month alongside a new pair of headphones.

Google just released the first major Snapseed update in years
Google has completely revamped its Snapseed image editing app on iPhone and iPad. The change, spotted earlier by 9to5Google, is Snapseed's first big update on iOS since adding dark mode in 2021. Snapseed was originally only available on iOS before Google acquired it in 2012 as part of a bid to compete with Instagram. Google later launched Snapseed on Android and made the app free to use. Along with several tools for tweaking RAW and JPG files, Snapseed also offers several filters, including some new vintage ones added with this latest update. The new 3.0 update gives Snapseed a new look on iOS, bringing a new 'Faves' option to the center of the bottom toolbar and allowing you to save specific tools. The 'Looks' tab stays in the same spot on the left side of the toolbar, while Google replaced the 'Export' option with 'Tools' on the right. As noted by 9to5Google, the 'Export' is now in the top-right corner. 'We're bringing a whole new look and feel to Snapseed on iOS,' Google spokesperson Michael Marconi said in a statement to The Verge. 'There are so many people who have loved using Snapseed to edit their photos over the years, so we're giving it a fresh look with a more intuitive layout and a few new features.' It doesn't appear that the update is coming to Snapseed on Android at the same time as iOS, as Marconi said Google doesn't 'have anything to share yet.'
