What's New in Photos Mastery

3.9

June 14, 2026

This release adds the ability to view sunrise, sunset, moonrise, and moonset times for any location in the world, not just where your iPhone happens to be. A new "Select Your Own GPS" button in the Golden Hour screen opens a full-screen map; tap anywhere to drop a pin, or use the new "Pick a Country" search to jump to a country from an alphabetical, searchable list of every world country (e.g. type "Pol" to fly straight to Poland), then refine the exact spot by tapping on the map. The chosen coordinate is automatically reverse-geocoded to determine the location's local time zone, so the displayed sun and moon times now reflect the wall-clock time at the selected spot — for example, Polish sunrise is shown in CEST, not in your local timezone. A small "Use Mine" link lets you instantly revert to your device's GPS, and the Location section now also shows the time zone identifier and abbreviation (e.g. Europe/Warsaw (CEST)) so it's always clear which zone the times correspond to. This fixes the previous behavior where times for non-local coordinates would render incorrectly (e.g. showing a sunrise as an evening time).
