The Google Camera app exclusive to Pixel devices has been renamed Pixel Camera on the Play Store by Google. The internet search giant has also replaced “Google Camera” with “Pixel Camera” in the app description and it now reads: “Never miss a moment with the completely redesigned Pixel Camera and take amazing photos and videos using features like Portrait , Night Sight, Time Lapse and Film Blur.”

The latest version of the Pixel Camera app available for the Pixel Fold, Pixel Tablet, and Pixel 7 Pro is v9.0, while the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro get v9.1. It’s also worth mentioning that the latest version of Pixel Camera only works on Pixel devices running Android 14 and above, while the Wear OS version only works on devices running Wear OS 3 and above and connected to Pixel smartphones.
