What's New in PXLCAM

1.2.5

June 12, 2026

This update adds more ways to capture and a smoother, more polished experience throughout. - Multi-lens camera: On iPhone 11 and later, pinch to switch between lenses—out for ultra-wide, in for telephoto where available—with a live zoom indicator. - Smoother zoom: Pinch-to-zoom is now smoother across all lenses, and the zoom indicator appears the moment you start pinching. - More ways to capture: Take photos using your volume buttons and other supported hardware controls, in addition to the on-screen shutter. - Gallery improvements: Pinch-to-zoom in the in-app gallery, a friendlier empty state, and smoother browsing. - Better permissions handling: Clearer guidance and easier access to settings when camera or photo permissions are off. - Give feedback from the app menu: New menu options to rate the app or send feedback directly. - Performance and stability: General performance improvements and bug fixes throughout.
