Apple has quietly added a powerful hidden editing tool in the Photos app with iOS 26, and iPhone users are loving it.
The latest iOS 26 update is making waves, not just for its performance boosts but also for a surprise feature inside the Photos app. Users have discovered a hidden editing tool that allows them to fine-tune images with more precision than ever before.
