Snapseed update disappoints fans after years of waiting
Snapseed has finally received an update after three years; however, it doesn't have much to offer.
Google has finally rolled out a new update for Snapseed after three years. It was known that the company doesn't like adding different features or spending too much time on the app, and the new update is just another proof. Snapseed's new v2.20 build's most significant update is that now the application targets Android 13.
Snapseed won't offer any new features or any big improvements with the latest update, but it is important for a reason. Google recently announced that Starting August 31, current apps on Google Play Store must target SDK31 (Android 12) or higher to be available for all users. The latest update will help Snapseed be visible on Play Store.
It's been over 3 years since the last Snapseed update, but version 2.20 is finally starting to roll out to users today.

Google recently announced its new policies on the support page. The company wants to provide users a safe and better experience; the new policy will begin on August 31, 2023.
"Existing apps must target API level 31 or above to remain available to users on devices running Android OS higher than your app's target API level. Apps that target API level 30 or below (target API level 29 or below for Wear OS), will only be available on devices running Android OS same or lower than your apps' target API level," says Google.
The last Snapseed update was on March 26, 2020
For some reason, Google doesn't roll out any updates for Snapseed since March 26, 2020. It is an easy program that works on almost all phones and provides a wide range of editing options. Snapseed has you covered whether you want to apply filters to your photographs or utilize more advanced tools like the Healing tool to remove undesired features.
Despite being one of the most-used programs among photographers and people who want to make basic edits to their photos, Google doesn't update Snapseed that much and makes sure everything is running smoothly. Even after years, most people are still using the application to edit their photos.
However, the latest update shows that Google still wants people to use Snapseed and is aware that it still has a rarely big user base. It is unclear whether the company has different plans for the application in the future, maybe releasing a new update that will add new features to Snapseed.

Uhh, this has already been possible – I am not sure how but remember my brother telling me about it. I’m not a whatsapp user so not sure of the specifics, but something about sending the image as a file and somehow bypassing the default compression settings that are applied to inbound photos.
He has also used this to share movies to whatsapp groups, and files 1Gb+.
Like I said, I never used whatsapp, but I know 100% this isn’t a “brand new feature”, my brother literally showed me him doing it, like… 5 months ago?
Martin, what happened to those: 12 Comments (https://www.ghacks.net/chatgpt-gets-schooled-by-princeton-university/#comments). Is there a specific justifiable reason why they were deleted?
Hmm, it looks like the gHacks website database is faulty, and not populating threads with their relevant cosponsoring posts.
The page on ghacks this is on represents the best of why it has become so worthless, fill of click-bait junk that it’s about to be deleted from my ‘daily reads’.
It’s really like “Press Release as re-written by some d*ck for clicks…poorly.” And the subjects are laughable. Can’t wait for “How to search for files on Windows”.
> The page on ghacks this is on represents the best of why it has become so worthless, fill of click-bait junk…
Sadly, I have to agree.
Only Martin and Ashwin are worth subscribing to.
Especially Emre Çitak and Shaun are the worst ones.
If ghacks.net intended “Clickbait”, it would mark the end of Ghacks Technology News.
Ghacks doesn’t need crappy clickbaits. Clearly separate articles from newer authors (perhaps AIs and external sales person or external advertising man) as just “Advertisements”!
We, the subscribers of Ghacks, urge Martin to make a decision.
because nevermore wants to “monetize” on every aspect of human life…
“Threads” is like the Walmart of Social Media.
How hard can it be to clone a twitter version of that as well? They’re slow.
Yes, why not mention how large the HD files can be?
Why, not mention what version of WhatsApp is needed?
These omissions make the article feel so bare. If not complete.
Sorry posted on the wrong page.
such a long article for such a simple matter. Worthless article ! waste of time
I already do this by attaching them via the ‘Document’ option.
I don’t know what’s going on here at Ghacks but it’s obvious that something is broken, comments are being mixed whatever the article, I am unable to find some of my later posts neither. :S
Quoting the article,
“As users gain popularity, the value of their tokens may increase, allowing investors to reap rewards.”
Besides, beyond the thrill and privacy risks or not, the point is to know how you gain popularity, be it on social sites as everywhere in life. Is it by being authentic, by remaining faithful to ourselves or is it to have this particular skill which is to understand what a majority likes, just like politicians, those who’d deny to the maximum extent compatible with their ideological partnership, in order to grab as many of the voters they can?
I see the very concept of this Friend.tech as unhealthy, propagating what is already an increasing flaw : the quest for fame. I won’t be the only one to count himself out, definitely.
@John G. is right : my comment was posted on [https://www.ghacks.net/2023/08/23/what-is-friend-tech/] and it appears there but as well here at [https://www.ghacks.net/2023/07/08/how-to-follow-everyone-on-threads/]
This has been lasting for several days. Fix it or at least provide some explanations if you don’t mind.

Firefox did this long before Safari.
Basically they’ll do anything except fair royalties.
