This year’s high-end models from Apple & Google raise the bar for mobile photography, but users should take the time to learn the features

SMARTPHONE PHOTOGRAPHY HAS come a long way since the first iPhone's single 2-megapixel camera in 2007. With phones now boasting multiple cameras with 48-, 50or even 200-megapixel resolutions, the camera software has also gotten more complex, with more fine-tuned controls and features. Some are even boosted by artificial intelligence. If you're still finding your way around the latest app update or just got a new phone, here's how to find the tools that let you create your best photos and videos.

Apple iOS camera

Apple redesigned the camera app built into its iPhone this year with its latest operating system, iOS 26, so your first step might be finding where everything went. In the bottom centre of the screen, there are now two buttons: Video and Photo. When you tap either one, a popup menu appears.
