Google Pixel Camera is getting a new update that brings in new settings and exclusive features from the Pixel 8 Pro to other Pixel phones. As noted by 9to5Google, the new changes with the latest Pixel camera app update bearing the 9.4.103.641377609.23 version start with the ability to choose a specific lens to capture a shot, as previously seen on the Pixel 8 Pro. Older Pixel phones like the Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 6 Pro, and the Pixel Fold will now have the feature tucked under the “Lens Selection,” which provides Auto or Manual options.

Interestingly, the Lens Selection is now buried under the Photo Settings section in the camera app, which is split into two tabs: General and Pro — a new addition as part of the latest update rollout already live on Google Play Store. On the other hand, Google has also rolled out new features in the recent Feature drop for Pixel phones and Pixel Watch models.
