iPhone Users to Get a Redesigned Video Editing Experience in Google Photos

Google is bringing a redesigned video editor to iOS, giving iPhone users a cleaner layout and faster tools. The update arrives with a fresh interface that Google claims is faster and easier to use. It introduces a universal timeline that supports multi-clip editing and simple storytelling. The adaptive canvas also adjusts automatically, which makes arranging clips feel more natural.

The company has reorganized key tools to reduce friction during editing. As a result, photo and video controls are now placed in more predictable locations. Google says everything users need is exactly where they expect it to be. The Photos music library is also easier to browse, letting users add soundtracks to highlight videos in only a few steps.

While the iOS update focuses on design and usability, several Android-only features could move to Apple devices later. Android users already get templates with pre-set formats, built-in music, synced cuts, and customizable text overlays. Google says these features may reach iOS after the initial rollout.
