Photo shots fired!
Google announced an update to its Photos app for iOS8 U.S.C 2257Monday. 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!

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.
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.
