TL;DR Snapseed 4.0 is set to arrive on both iOS and Android this week.
The update was teased by Snapseed product lead Giles Ochs in an Instagram post.
No other details about the latest version have been revealed, but many Android users, including us, have been awaiting its arrival.
Snapseed has been having a moment in 2026. The long-running Google-owned photo editor was suddenly interesting again, but the most exciting new part of its revived experience was an iOS-only experience, while Android users were left pressing their faces against the window. That wait now looks almost over, with Snapseed 4.0 set to arrive on Android this week.
The news comes from an Instagram post by Giles Ochs, Snapseed’s product lead. The short video quickly flicks through comments from people asking when the refreshed Snapseed experience is coming to Android, then ends with a card that says: “Snapseed 4.0 out on iOS and Android this week.” Ochs’ caption is similarly direct: “The wait is almost over. Snapseed 4.0.”
