What's New in Cat's Eye

1.2

September 25, 2026

Cat's Eye 1.2 • Peaking now measures DISTANCE, not contrast. It marks in red what is really at the focus distance, so background leaves no longer light up and a dark subject no longer goes unmarked. On iPhones with a LiDAR scanner; on the others it works as before. • And with it you can see depth of field: close the aperture and the marked zone widens in front of you, until the whole background comes into focus. On iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max. • While peaking is on, framing stays at 24 mm: measuring distance and zooming can't happen at the same time. • The mode button always does the same thing: AUTO 1 with a clean screen, AUTO 2 with the four rings in view, and M with the values the camera was using. The setting that changed that cycle is gone. • Press and hold now waits for the lens to focus before locking, and goes straight from one lock to another. • If an aid is on but hidden because the camera is in AUTO 1, the viewfinder tells you how to see it. • "Show the hints again" now answers, and says the first-launch cards come back too. • The cards and the Gestures screen are up to date: they described the old mode-button cycle.
