What's New in Halide Mark III

3.2.1

October 2, 2026

Welcome to Halide 3.2, which adds support for the new adjustable aperture on the iPhone 18 Pro. In addition to offering a fully variable aperture, we've added a new Aperture Priority mode. At last our logo has meaning! We're also excited to introduce two new Looks! DAWN features filmic warmth in midtones and highlights, paired with rich yet gentle shadows and subtle complementary cool colors. QuickSilver's high contrast and muted color simulate a silver-retention alternative process. As a reminder, all of Halide's film simulations are available on all devices. Not just the iPhone 18 Pro. If you have any other feedback, please let us know at support@lux.camera or hop into our Discord. Stay tuned, as we have a lot more planned for this Fall! - Team Halide

one dumb choice

Good: Built-in flora mode insta gives you 2x zoom and manual focus control, great for nature photos. Everything is as described. Bad: Somehow -- SOMEHOW -- requires WiFi to store your photos. To your device. Y'know, the one you're taking photos on? Yeah, it needs WiFi for that. Baffling design choice that singlehandedly ruins the app. Would recommend otherwise.

Almost perfect!

I enjoy using this app a lot and would give it 5 starts if it wasn’t for 2 missing features I use daily in other apps.

1. The ability to separate focus point and exposure. For example, in Moment, you can double tap the screen to separate the focus and the exposure. It very useful when you want to focus on something but not blow out the background. Then you can use the EV slider if needed.

2. The ability to dial down the intensity of a Look. Many times a Look can be too strong for a specific scene. The ability to lower their intensity for example Dawn 70% or Nova 35%. This feature alone would make a huge difference.

If Halide had this 2 features, Halide would be my everyday camera. No need for Lightroom or any other app.

If at least on of these features gets added, it would get 5 stars!

Love

Shooting RAW on my phone, phenomenal.

Best Camera App

Halide is easily the best camera app I’ve used. The manual controls are intuitive, the interface is beautiful, and it consistently helps me take better photos. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to get more out of their phone's camera.

Probably worst camera app!

This is probably the worst camera app on iPhone. Image quality is worst. It takes ages to click and save photos. Very slow and laggy. Better to shoot in RAW on native iPhone app. And the classes are for just 10 days but the subscription keeps on running for years. Never subscribe to this app.
