What's new in 3.2.2
This update includes some small bug fixes when you first launch the app and go through the onboarding experience. We're hard at work on our next big release, but in the mean time, here's a recap...
-----
Welcome to Halide 3.2, which adds support for the new adjustable aperture on the iPhone 18 Pro. In addition to offering a fully variable aperture, we've added a new Aperture Priority mode. At last our logo has meaning!
We're also excited to introduce two new Looks! DAWN features filmic warmth in midtones and highlights, paired with rich yet gentle shadows and subtle complementary cool colors. QuickSilver's high contrast and muted color simulate a silver-retention alternative process. As a reminder, all of Halide's film simulations are available on all devices. Not just the iPhone 18 Pro.
If you have any other feedback, please let us know at support@lux.camera or hop into our Discord. Stay tuned, as we have a lot more planned for this Fall!

Store description
Halide unleashes your iPhone’s camera. Disable iPhone processing for natural photos, apply powerful film situations, access manual controls, and more. Halide has over 24,000 5-star ratings and is an App Store Editors’ Choice and Apple Design Award winner.
Halide’s Looks are built into the camera itself, changing how your photo is captured and processed - not just a color filter applied after the fact. These are the best photos you can get out of an iPhone. Start with Process Zero for natural, film-like results, without any AI or computational photography. Explore our rich set of creative Looks developed with Hollywood colorist Cullen Kelly, and powered by sophisticated film simulation.
For nine years, Halide has set the standard for professional iPhone camera control. Nail your manual focus with Focus Peaking and the Focus Loupe. Compose your shots with intention using sophisticated framing guides, from a basic grid and rule of thirds, to the golden ratio and rabatment of the rectangle. Get perfect macro shots with Halide's dedicated Macro Mode.
Hate editing? Halide gives you amazing results straight out of the camera. But when you need to fine-tune, Photo Lab makes it fast and intuitive. Try dramatically different Looks, adjust framing and exposure, experiment with film simulation, or rescue details in highlights and shadows with Tone Fusion.
You can even import and load RAWs from other apps, such as Apple’s own camera app, or standalone cameras by Canon, Nikon, Sony, Leica, Fujifilm, and Hasselblad. Specific formats are listed below.
