Adobe continues its mobile blitz today, bringing its popular Premiere editing services to smartphone platforms for the first time.
The first fully fledged Photoshop app for iPhone launched in early 2025, followed by a release for Android in June. Now, the same is happening for Premiere, and the iPhone is up first.
Look for it to land on iOS as an alternative mobile version of Premiere Pro. That desktop package is our pick for the best video editing software for professionals, and many of the key features remain on mobile. It works in a portrait orientation, allowing you to look through your multi-track view to tweak footage, audio, and add in further elements like voiceovers, sound effects, or other layers. The standard trim, layer, and fine-tune features are all here, plus elements like automatic captions, text, 4K HDR, and more.
You can also add multimedia without leaving the app. For example, you can record audio for a voiceover using your iPhone’s mic and layer it over your footage.
Adobe Firefly, the company’s generative AI tool, is also available here. You can use Adobe’s credits to generate image, video, and audio assets, as well as complicated features like using AI to extend video clips. Adobe’s reveal shows an example of an editor using Firefly credits to generate sound effects for a London bus.
The service is free to download and use, but you’ll have limited Firefly credits in the app and may also eventually need to pay for storage on Adobe’s cloud systems.

Generative credits on free Adobe services are usually tightly limited. For example, I had five credits per month to use in Photoshop for Android when it first launched. Generating media like video or audio will take a lot of credits, so you may need to sign up for a premium subscription if you plan to use these features regularly.
You can preorder the app on the Apple App Store. It currently lists a Sept. 30 launch date, but that’s likely a placeholder date, and it may launch earlier.
If you have an Android phone, the service is “in development.” It took around four months between the release of the iPhone Photoshop app and its Android counterpart hitting the market, so Adobe may follow a similar release schedule.
