Adobe has finally launched the Photoshop app for Android devices in the Google Play Store. Adobe has released the app’s Android counterpart more than three months after launching it for iOS devices in February. With the new popular photo editing app for Android, users can access a lot of Adobe’s new tools in a mobile format.
Android users can enjoy premium Photoshop features for free for a limited period
Adobe has packed its Photoshop app for Android devices with powerful tools that are ready for on-the-go image editing. The app brings desktop-level tools alongside some cool generative AI tricks on mobile devices. Adobe has currently launched the app in the beta version for Android.
During the initial beta period, all premium Photoshop features, like core tools including selections, layers, masks, and the exclusive Tap select features, are available for free to Android users. The beta period likely won’t last long, and the company will offer some of the premium features behind a subscription.
