【Anticipation】

Good news for Google Pixel users — they're bringing back a beloved old feature.

The Anticipationnew update will have manual controls for the main screen in the 9.7 version of the Pixel Camera app, making it easier to control white balance, brightness, and shadows — just like it used to, according to Tom's Guide.

In the current version of Pixel 9 Pro, you can still control the white balance, brightness, and shadows, but you have to go into the camera's settings menu to do so. Now, you can pin those settings so you don't have to toggle them as much.

The update is still rolling out, so you might not have access to it just yet. Despite that, fans seem primed for the new change. Nearly all of the comments on Google Pixel sub-reddit are some version of "Thank God, old manual control is so much easier to use than new one," and "Win after win, it's been a good Pixel year this one."

As Android Police points out, that's not the only photo-related new feature in the update, either. The cameras on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold and Pixel Fold will now have a Dual Screen Portrait Mode on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold and Pixel Fold.
