Can you do it in the default photo editing app? Don't have any iOS devices handy to check out, but on my current phone, the standard Google Photos app has text markup - including emojis.
Just tested it out and I was easily able to put an emoji over a face and resize/rotate it with pinch/drag type motions. Anything like that in the default Apple app?
Granted, there is nothing like the automation features in OP's app, so at least that part is interesting.
- perardi 5y agoFrustratingly, no. If you insert a photo into Messages and hit Markup, the first view gives you a bunch of pen/pencil/brush options, with fixed sizes per brush. There's a plus button that allows you to insert shapes and text…but you can't pinch-zoom to scale the text. You then have to tap around again to set the font size and color. It's a weird, neglected-feeling interface. They could borrow a lot from Instagram's story editor.
- tedmiston 5y agoI just tested and you can do it in Photos.app (activate Markup in the top right). That said, fully agreed the UI is very clunky compared to doing similar things in Instagram's editor.
- graftak 5y agoWhat the author of the app can do however is creating an <x-Apple>OS photo markup plugin that provides the more usable mask ‘aid’ tools. A feature I haven’t seen utilised once since it’s inception.
- Grustaf 5y agoYeah, that's definitely what he should do. Very surprising he didn't do it already, this is the perfect use case for markup plugins.
