- In the previous Pixel Camera app redesign, Google removed convenient on-screen controls for brightness, white balance, and shadows.
- The December Pixel Drop brings Pixel Camera version 9.7, which restores these on-screen controls and allows users to adjust settings directly from the viewfinder.
- Some Pixel users have started receiving the update, but you might have to wait a bit longer to get it.
The Pixel Camera app recently underwent a redesign that removed the convenient on-screen Quick Access Controls for adjusting brightness, white balance, and other settings. This change did not sit well with users because it added an extra step, requiring users to tap a settings icon in the bottom-right corner of the screen to access these controls.
