Comprehensive Mobile App Features: Photoshop Functions at Your Fingertips
In a significant move for digital creatives, Adobe has released a new mobile version of its flagship photo editing software, Photoshop, for iOS and Android devices. The app, optimised for mobile touchscreens, offers a range of powerful tools that aim to revolutionise the way users edit and enhance their images on the go.
### Key Features
The mobile Photoshop app is packed with innovative features designed to boost creativity and productivity. Users can now add new objects to images using simple text prompts with Generative Fill, and utilise non-generative AI tools to enhance their creativity. Background editing is made easy with AI-generated fills or a vast Adobe Stock library of images, textures, and patterns.
Object selection and adjustment have been streamlined, allowing users to isolate specific areas of an image and modify brightness, vibrancy, or remove unwanted content seamlessly with Generative Fill. The app also enables users to blend photos with Adobe Stock images, text, and graphics, rearrange objects using layers and masks, and create complex compositions on mobile.
### Requirements and Availability
The mobile Photoshop app is available for download on iPhone (iOS) since February 2025, and a beta version for Android devices was released in July 2025. The app uses the same core as Photoshop for iPad but features a redesigned user interface tailored specifically for smaller phone screens.
While the base features, including many AI tools, are free to use, accessing the full feature set requires a paid subscription. Users can subscribe via an existing Photoshop desktop subscription (which includes the mobile app) or opt for Adobe's new Photoshop Mobile & Web plan, priced at $7 a month.
Layers and masks are accessible in the new Photoshop app, and some features, such as Quick Actions, invite users to apply a basic effect to a new image. Quick Actions also allow users to edit the color of the solid color background, hide the background of an image, and create a new layer for users when they use Quick Actions.
In summary, Adobe's mobile Photoshop app brings professional-grade photo editing and AI-powered creative tools to iOS and Android users, balancing free access to core features with premium options under subscription plans, and providing a user interface optimised for mobile phone use.
