The Google Camera Pixel App has been updated a few days ago, from version 6.1 to version 6.2. A quick glance at the application left us wondering if anything was new, but after a closer inspection, we noticed some changes, some of which minor and one that most of the time. between you will like: a dark mode.

Dark mode in the settings

The Camera application interface has always been centered on black, but when you switch to the settings, you are still struck by a shocking white screen. Now the settings look like those on your device. My Pixel 2 XL is on Android Q with the activated light theme; When I turn on the battery saver, everything goes black, including camera application settings. It also works on Android P, although the behavior may be less consistent.

New animated transitions

The switchover between the camera, video, portrait and panorama in the 6.1 version of the Camera application was showing a black transition screen with the mode icon in the middle. With version 6.2, the screen no longer flashes black, but a transition and a nice zoom in / out take place. If you switch from one mode to another, the result is smoother than before and feels faster.

Flash icon for flash selfie

This one is completely superfluous. In version 6.2, when the flash is activated for the camera from the front, an icon representing the flash appears on the screen. People may be wondering why their screen was changing to sepia tone, and this addition helps to explain that it's acting like a flash.
