Snapseed, a beloved photo editing app, recently received a small update for its Android version, which is a sign that Google continues to maintain the app despite its age. This update comes as a relief to the app's dedicated user base, which has been waiting for new features and improvements.
Google acquired Nik Software, the original developer behind Snapseed, in 2012. Since then, the app underwent a major redesign in 2017 and a dark theme was added in 2018. However, the significant feature updates have left some users worried about the app's future.
The latest update released for Snapseeed this week, version 2.22, doesn't offer any noticeable changes for users at first glance.

However, the update is likely to include bug fixes and performance improvements to ensure the app runs smoothly. Despite the lack of new features, the update indicates Google's ongoing commitment to maintaining the app.
Snapseed's unique user interface and streamlined process appeal to photographers and casual editors alike. Its design allows users to quickly edit by swiping up and down to navigate different aspects of the image and left and right to adjust value, offering an efficient mobile editing experience.
Additionally, Snapseed's local, server-free operation makes it a popular choice for those who value privacy and don't want to rely on cloud-based editing services.
Although as a competing app Google offers, Google Photos, an app which has advanced AI-powered editing tools, but still Snapseed continues to maintain its existence due to the app being more in demand among users.
