Retrica iOS 9.0 is here — and it’s all about refining how you capture videos, while bringing back the classic features you’ve always loved in a more flexible, modern way.
This update focuses on expression, control, and rediscovery. From smoother videos to the return of iconic Retrica tools, version 9.0 helps you capture everyday moments with more intention and creative freedom.
Here’s what’s new in Retrica iOS 9.0.
Bokeh Blur — Two Ways to Shape Soft Focus
One of Retrica’s most iconic features, Bokeh Blur, is back with more flexibility and creative control.
In Retrica 9.0, Bokeh Blur now comes with two distinct blur modes — Circular and Linear — so you can choose how softness flows through your frame.
Circular Blur
Circular Blur lets you create a soft, dreamy focus centered around your subject.
You can freely adjust the size and position of the circle, making it perfect for portraits and selfies where you want the subject to stand out while the background melts away.
This mode brings back that classic Retrica look — ideal for creating a gentle, atmospheric, almost magical mood.
Linear Blur
Linear Blur applies blur in a directional way, following a line across the frame.
You can control the width, position, and angle of the blur, allowing you to softly fade the surroundings while keeping part of the scene in focus.
This works especially well for emotional landscapes, still life shots, or cinematic compositions, where you want depth without overpowering the subject.
Fine-tune the Intensity
Both Circular and Linear modes support intensity adjustment, so you can dial the effect up or down to match your style — from subtle softness to bold, expressive blur.
With these two modes, Bokeh Blur becomes more than a background effect.
It’s a creative tool that helps guide attention, shape mood, and bring depth to both photos and videos — all directly from the camera screen.
Preset Browse — Rediscover the Retrica You Loved, Refined
The familiar feeling of classic Retrica is back — now in a more refined and powerful form.
With Preset Browse, you can apply professional-grade presets directly from the camera in a clean, horizontal flow. Simply scroll through the list and watch the mood of your shot change instantly — no extra steps, no interruptions.
Finding the preset that fits you — or the subject you’re capturing — is now faster and more intuitive than ever. Exploring different looks becomes a natural part of shooting, letting you feel how each preset transforms the scene in real time.
Create Your Own Preset Packs — Personalize Retrica Your Way
Once you find presets you keep coming back to, save them into your own preset packs.
Your custom preset packs are neatly placed on the left side of Preset Browse, keeping your favorites beautifully organized and always within reach — whether you’re shooting or editing.
In Studio, preset packs make it incredibly easy to change the mood of photos you’ve already taken. With just a few taps, you can revisit moments and give them a completely new feeling.
With this update, Retrica becomes more than a camera app —
it becomes a personal space shaped around your taste and style.
Fine-Tune Presets, Just Like Before
If you want to dive deeper into any preset, simply tap the preset icon once.
You can adjust details and fine-tune the look to make each preset feel even more personal. By customizing the settings, you can shape Retrica presets to fit you perfectly — adding your own touch to every shot.
Video FPS Control & Stabilization — Shape Motion Your Way
Video is all about movement, rhythm, and feeling.
With Retrica 9.0, you now have Video FPS Control, giving you the freedom to choose how your videos move. Select from 18, 24, 30, or 60 FPS before shooting and capture your moments in the style that suits your story best.
Go for a cinematic mood with lower frame rates, or choose smoother motion for dynamic, everyday scenes. Combined with Retrica’s presets, you can experiment with different looks and rhythms to create videos that feel uniquely yours.
To support more professional-looking results, Video Stabilization has also been added. When shooting on supported devices, stabilization helps reduce hand shake and unwanted movement, resulting in smoother, more polished footage.
Whether you’re filming daily moments, vlogs, or creative scenes on the go, these video updates help you capture motion with more control, clarity, and confidence.
Discover Tab Refresh — Inspiration and Updates in One Place
The Discover tab has been refreshed to bring everything together.
You can continue exploring featured photos from the Retrica community, while also staying up to date with official Retrica news and updates — all in one place. It’s a space for inspiration, connection, and discovery, redesigned to feel more cohesive and alive.
Built on What You Love
Retrica 9.0 isn’t about reinventing everything — it’s about building on what you already love.
By bringing back classic features in more flexible forms and refining the video capture experience, this update offers a more expressive and intuitive way to document everyday life.
Whether you’re shooting photos, recording videos, or exploring presets, Retrica iOS 9.0 helps you capture moments with more freedom and personality.
