Apple plans fully customizable Camera app in iOS 27

Apple plans to make its Camera app fully customizable in the next iPhone software update as part of a wider user interface overhaul, Bloomberg News‘ Mark Gurman reports.

Users will be able to select which controls appear in the app and where they are positioned, including options for flash, exposure, timer, and resolution.

Mark Gurman for Bloomberg News:
‎

• Apple is planning to make the Camera app interface fully customizable so users can pick their own set of controls — called widgets — that run along the top of the interface.

• The app will continue to launch with the same default set as today, including toggles for resolution, night mode, flash and live photos, but users will be able to switch over to an “advanced” array of options or choose their own items.

• Each capture mode has its own set of widgets, which can be picked from a transparent “Add Widgets” tray that slides up from the bottom of the app.

• The Photo mode’s advanced options tray includes depth-of-field and exposure controls, while the widgets are split into categories of “basic,” “manual” and “settings.” Users can also swap in controls for the timer and photo styles. And there are new grid and level options inside the app itself.
