What's New in Glasses

6.0.1

September 15, 2026

Glasses has been completely updated for today’s iPhones. This major new version brings much sharper imaging on the latest iPhone cameras while preserving the simple, one-handed operation that has always made Glasses easy to use. New in this version: • Sharper, clearer imaging on modern iPhones • A redesigned interface for quick one-handed use • A new Image Archive for keeping useful images close at hand • Improved camera and illumination controls • Liquid Glass support • Zoom scroller appearance updated in 6.0.1 And as always, Glasses is private by design — no accounts, no advertising, no analytics, and no uploading of your images. Thank you to everyone who has used Glasses over the years. We think you’ll really enjoy this update.

Great app

I use this app to look at coins close up, take a pic and look for errors. It’s perfect

La mejor app

Para mí se volvieron vayan indispensable porque no veo muy bien y a veces que no traigo mis lentes me ayuda y me resuelve el problema. Gracias gracias por este app

Best app ever!!

It’s made a huge difference in my life. I can go to restaurants and order off the menu, even if the lighting is dark and romantic! It allows me to identify things that I can’t see with the naked eye! Like having a mini microscope in my pocket!!

Perfect enlargement

This is one of the best apps and definitely worth a donation to support its continued development

Too bad I need it but better than the alternative

Simple and effective.

FAQ

What does the Glasses app do?

What are the key features of the Glasses app?

Key features include a digital magnifier with a flashlight for low-light conditions, offering up to 12x magnification. You can zoom in and out using double taps or a slider, freeze the image with a tap and hold, and use the front camera as a mirror. It also archives your last 8 images and allows permanent saving to your camera roll.

Is the Glasses app free to use?

The app is free to download and use, offering core magnification and mirror functionalities. There are in-app purchases available, which may unlock additional features or enhance the existing ones, providing a freemium model.

What devices is the Glasses app compatible with?

The description specifically mentions the app is for the iPhone. Compatibility with specific iOS versions would typically be detailed on the app store page, but it is designed for Apple's mobile devices.

When would I use the Glasses app?

You would use this app in situations where you need to read small print on product labels, menus in dimly lit restaurants, or bills. It's also handy for quick personal grooming checks using the mirror function when you don't have a physical mirror available.
