Ask Photos

Google Photos has introduced a new feature called Ask Photos, which allows users to edit images using natural-language prompts instead of traditional editing tools. This feature is available for personal Google accounts in the U.S. and requires users to opt in and enable face match and location estimation. While Ask Photos simplifies the editing process, users should be cautious about privacy, as prompts will be used for training purposes, even though Google does not use photos or videos for AI training. To use Ask Photos, users must open the Google Photos app, select a photo, tap the Edit button, and enter their request in the Help me edit text field. Additionally, Google Photos provides transparency regarding edits through C2PA Content Credentials, which document the types of edits made and distinguish between original and edited photos.
