After launching on Pixel 10 devices, the Google Photos feature that allows users to edit images by describing the changes they want to make is now coming to other Android phones. Google announced that the Gemini-powered conversational editing capabilities are rolling out to eligible Android users in the US starting today, and can be accessed by tapping “Help me edit” in the Google Photos editor.
The update enables more Google Photos users to describe their edits using their voice or text instead of manually using the app’s tools or adjustment sliders. The aim is to make photo editing quicker and more accessible, preventing users from having to use a variety of specific app tools and understand how they’ll work together. The feature also provides suggested edits that users can select, and it works with vague commands like “make it better” or “restore this old photo.”
Using short descriptions with little detail will obviously provide less control over the edited results, but the efficiency of asking Gemini to make tricky adjustments for you does sound appealing.
