What's New in PaintSteps

October 31, 2026

• iPhone Duo support. Open it like a book and the painting sits on one side of the fold, the controls on the other. Half-fold it on a table and the painting stands up while the controls lie flat within reach. • Tutorials build about twice as fast, and paint recipes appear four times faster. • Clearer messages when a painting can't be saved or opened, with a way to try again. • VoiceOver, Switch Control and keyboard users can now show the reference photo. • Fixes: deleting a painting also removes its saved recipes, colors you set while a photo is still being analyzed are kept, and Ask to Buy purchases now say they're pending.
