What you need to know
Google is broadening the reach of its innovative conversational editing feature in Google Photos, now available to eligible Android users across the United States. Initially launched with the Pixel 10 series, this AI-driven tool allows users to simply type in their desired edits, and the application, utilizing the power of Gemini, seamlessly executes these modifications without requiring manual adjustments.
- The feature was previously exclusive to Pixel 10 devices but is now being rolled out to a wider array of Android smartphones.
- To access this feature, users must be 18 years or older, have their Google account language set to English (U.S.), enable Face Groups in Google Photos, and activate location estimates.
- Once these criteria are met, users can expect the update to arrive on their devices shortly.
According to reports from 9to5Google, the rollout has already begun for non-Pixel devices, including models such as the OnePlus 13 and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7. Google emphasizes that conversational editing transcends simple adjustments like brightness and contrast; it can perform intricate edits, including removing reflections, expanding the image frame, and even restoring faded photographs. Furthermore, the tool can interpret more imaginative prompts, allowing users to visualize concepts such as future home arrangements.
In addition to this feature, Google has introduced a revamped Create tab within Google Photos. This update includes an enhanced collage creator and an upgraded photo-to-video generator, streamlining the process of transforming cherished memories into shareable video clips. With these advancements, Google continues to enhance the user experience, making photo editing not only more accessible but also more creative and enjoyable.
