Best app for taking photos? (alien.top)
 

Hey peeps

Which app do you think is the best app where I can put my camera to its full potential?

Asking this since my friend has been able to take some mean shots with an S22, bone stock (without software like Lightroom) and while I do want to take photos like that, Apple doesn’t support native settings like Pro mode (which Samsung has)

If the apps are free, I’d gladly appreciate it (I’m a college student and I don’t want to go broke paying a subscription fee just for a camera app 😭)

I’m sick of this camera setting. in c/apple@hardware.watch

It’s Night Mode, and it automatically turns on when the camera is exposed to a dark area or when you’re taking photos in the night

It’s supposed to light up the surroundings so that the photo can be made much clearer.

There is sadly, no way to permanently turn it off. It will automatically turn on, regardless IIRC

People who started with an iPhone as a teen, how did it feel to own one? (alien.top)
 

I’m 19 now, but I got my first phone and my current iPhone, a Sierra Blue 13 PM, in 2021, when I was 17.

I was never interested in getting an iPhone, since I was a big sideloading guy and I didn’t want an expensive phone at that age.

But my dad’s office plan is the only way by which we get new phones, and he swore that he’ll never buy anything outside of that, which is why I went with the 13PM.

Honestly, I’d say I was like every other teen then, except I made my phone the primary device of all my socials, music, etc etc (previously it was my dad’s phone)

But I took the phone with great care and tbf, even now, can’t stop appreciating the colour, the elegance and even the camera quality

Kids at my grade also gave me side eyes when they saw an iPhone in my hands (I was living in the Middle East) since most of my mates back then were either on mid range phones or had no phone at all.

It kinda bothered me, since I felt that I was giving off “rich kid” vibes, even though I ain’t very rich, but now that a lot of people have iPhones, I feel better about myself

How was it for y’all?

Apple, you had one job…. (alien.top)
 

Honestly, I’ve wanted to say this since iOS 16 came out, but I really kept forgetting about it

Until now.

Here’s the thing. People who own a 13 Pro know that it had the best set of wallpapers any iPhone could ever get (even for those without the 13 Pro, iOS 15 still had banger wallpapers)

HOWEVER, after iOS 16 came out, they revamped the entire wallpaper and widget system.

Now you’ve got either the Weather, Astronomy, Pride, Black, Emoji, Kaleidoscope, Photo, Photo Shuffle & Color

But wait, there’s a separate category called Collections right?

Yeah, about that

Collections, for some damn reason, don’t house any of the old wallpapers!!

I know my frustration may not be shared amongst all of the members, but I really miss having those old wallpapers

Granted you can get a photo from the web, but it can never replicate the original features, like changing during dark or light mode.

Thanks for reading my short rant

Good day
