A new Google Photos feature could make photo editing feel like texting a friend

If you are using an Android phone – or better yet, a Pixel phone or Galaxy phone – you are probably already swimming in AI features thanks to Google’s full-on Gemini takeover. The company has been stuffing its AI into just about every product it owns and naturally, Google Photos hasn’t been left out.

Google Photos is hugely popular on both Android and iOS and it already offers some cool generative AI tools like Magic Editor, Magic Eraser and Reimagine. But now, it looks like there’s another one on the way – and this one sounds even more hands-off.

 
You can drop in whatever instructions you want – like tweaking colors or changing the mood of a photo – and Gemini will do the magic for you. You’ll also get suggestions from Google Photos itself if you’re not sure where to start.

We still don’t know when exactly Google will roll out this feature or if the tech giant is just testing it, but we will make sure to let you know once there are more details.

Honestly, it is no surprise that Google is pushing even more AI into Photos. This is clearly the direction we are heading in – whether we like it or not. And sure, it’s super convenient. But let’s be real: it’s getting harder and harder to tell what is real and what has been AI-tweaked to perfection.

 
I mean, swapping out a cloudy sky for a perfect blue one in your personal memories? Not sure why you’d want to, but hey – with such tools, it’s now just a prompt away.
