Google Camera 8 4 Update Brings Some Pixel 6 Features To Older Pixel Phones

Google is rolling out an update to the Google Camera app that brings some new Pixel 6 camera features to older Pixel phones. The features in question include visual changes to the app’s home screen, manual exposure controls, and timer light.

The key change in Google Camera 8.4 update is the presence of a timer light toggle. When this feature is turned on, the rear camera LED flashes during the timer countdown. You can find this option under Advanced -> Timer light of Google Camera settings.

Google is gradually rolling out Google Camera 8.4.200.406250151.12 update on older Pixel phones. As 9to5Google reports, sideloading the app works on Pixel 5 and 4a. However, it results in crashes on other Pixels. I tried sideloading the update on my Pixel 3 XL and it crashed after a few seconds of opening the app.
