P: Please add Shapes and Shape Tool to mobile/iPad

What is this? For a year they have told us this would be equivalent to a desktop version of Photoshop. Not at all. Where is the shape tool??? I’m so sad 😞

Dear Adobe, it would be MAGICAL to see this finally appear in 2026!

Photoshop iPad was released 5+ years ago. For whatever reason, it is still missing some basic functions - shapes, smart objects & grides/guides. Why is that?

So much time since this post and still not any rectangle tool... I am really reconsidering stopping my subscription since I almost only use the iPad version.

I use Photoshop iPad as a photographer. There are three features missing IMO - Select Sky, Shape Tools and Smart Filters (ACR). A few days ago, we received an Update - enhanced Removal Tool after three months since last update. For whatever reason Photoshop iPad is not a priority.

No shape tool is pretty dumb. Please add this feature, it's been requested for over 4 years.

Adobe, this is sad that such a simple feature is not on an this app for iPad. I need it for border for my thumbnails, but considering you've ignored it for four years, I guess we might as well forget about it right?

Yes! Same here.   Having the ability to work on the move with SIMPLE shapes is much needed for me as well.

The Shape Tool has been on the "What's Coming" for a long time. The Shape Tool code exists in Illustrator Mobile. Porting to Photoshop iPad is like Summer Intern 101. Go figure...
