  • After resizing an app icon and adding frequently used shortcuts, you can now drag and drop these shortcuts to rearrange them.
  • Adds a "Neon" filter to the Camera app that mimics the CineStill 800T film effect, enhancing atmospheric night portraits.
  • Filters in the Photos app now support "Moving Photo", "Screen and Screen Captures" and "Edited" options, making it easier to filter images and videos.

  • Improves the method for parsing thumbnails in the Photos app to speed up the display of thumbnails in the app.
