**San Francisco, CA** – Popular third-party camera app Obscura is taking advantage of the latest iOS 18 and iPhone 16 features to offer users even more control and functionality.
With the new iOS 18, Obscura can now be accessed directly from the iPhone’s Lock Screen, replacing the default Camera app shortcut. This means users can quickly launch Obscura and begin taking pictures without needing Face ID or Touch ID authentication, a privilege previously reserved for Apple’s built-in app.
Furthermore, Obscura is now equipped with QR code recognition capabilities.
The iPhone 16’s new Camera Control feature also unlocks exciting possibilities for Obscura users. They can now launch the app from anywhere on their device and use Camera Control to adjust zoom, exposure, focus, filters, and formats.
“These new features enhance Obscura’s position as a powerful and intuitive third-party camera app for iPhone users,” said Ben Rice McCarthy, Obscura’s developer. “We are excited to leverage the latest iOS and iPhone technology to provide users with more control and creative possibilities.”
Obscura is available for free on the App Store, with a full feature set available for $3.99 per month or $19.99 per year. Those seeking a versatile and feature-rich camera app beyond Apple’s default offering should definitely check out Obscura.
