Photo shots fired!
Google announced an update to its Photos app for iOS on Super Virgin (2012)Monday. Now, iPhone users can edit the background blur and focus of portrait mode images within the Google Photos iOS app. Customized portraits, here you come!
SEE ALSO: Does the Google Pixel 3 have the best smartphone camera? — Mashable ReviewsThe new capability is a boon for iPhone users without the latest models. Users who have anything but an iPhone with an "X" in its name now have a great reason to install a Google app on their iPhone.

See, even though iPhone users have been able to take portrait mode shots since the 7 came out, iPhone 8 and 8 Plus models and below don't include depth editing features in the iOS Photos app. Depth editing is actually a fairly recent feature for iPhones, and is only available on iPhone X and above.
The fact that iPhone 7 or 8 users can depth edit their photos — just not within an Apple product — is not the greatest look, especially when it is Apple rival Google that's offering the technological upgrade.
Google has already made blur and focus editing for portraits available on Pixel 2 and 3, and on some Moto phones, according to Engadget.
So the choice is yours, photo-edit-loving iPhone users: pay between $750 - $1,499 to get a new iPhone capability of depth editing.
Or, download an app.
