Update: Now available.
The popular camera app Halide is getting an update today that brings some exciting updates to new iPhone XR owners. In fact, today’s update is solely focused on iPhone XR.
The headlining feature is support for Portrait mode effects for everything, not just people, which is currently the limiting factor of Apple’s built-in camera app on iPhone XR.
Unfortunately, unlike iPhone XS, iPhone XR will be unable to view depth effects live and can only be modified after the photo has been taken, even in Halide.
However, Halide will enable iPhone XS-like shots with iPhone XR and its single camera on the back. This update also brings support for Smart RAW technology for better RAW photos taken on iPhone XR.
Learn more about today’s Halide update here. Halide is available on the App Store for $5.99, the update will be available to current users as a free update.
