Google has quietly ditched astrophotography support for the wide-angle shooters on Pixel phones.
Version 8.1 of the Google Camera app now only allows night sky shooting at 1x zoom or tighter.
It’s unclear if the option to switch between the two cameras will return to these phones at a later date.
Google initially allowed users to shoot astrophotography images using the Pixel 4a 5G and Pixel 5‘s primary or ultrawide cameras. Now, it seems that the firm has quietly removed this choice in the latest Google Camera app.
Version 8.1 of the app, as spotted by
9to5Google, no longer lets users select the 16MP 107-degree wide-angle camera when shooting in the specialized mode. Instead, the app now limits users to the 12MP primary shooter at 1x times zoom or greater.
