Google is expanding various AI-powered editing features in the Photos app. The “Help me edit” function, which was previously only available on Pixel and some Android devices, is now available for iPhone users as well. With this feature, users can indicate in voice or text what kind of change they want on a photo; Google’s artificial intelligence then automatically implements this request.
This update, which is now available to iOS users in the USA, is not limited to text forwarding support. Google Photos’ editing interface has also been updated for iPhones. Thanks to the renewed user interface, editing photos becomes faster and more intuitive. One-touch suggested changes and swipe gesture adjustments make this process more accessible.
Google Photos artificial intelligence support also improves face editing features
However, serious improvements have been made in artificial intelligence-supported face editing features. By using images of the user’s special face groups, Google can perform operations such as opening a face with closed eyes, adding a smile, or removing accessories such as glasses in a more natural and realistic way. This feature is also activated for iOS users.
Behind these advanced features for photo editing is Google’s artificial intelligence model called Nano Banana. This model not only corrects photos, but can also turn them into a painting, mosaic work or illustration. These creative options available to users expand the functionality of Google Photos beyond just being a storage tool.
In addition, the new “Ask” button for Android and iOS users makes it possible to ask questions about images and edit directly through a chat interface. AI templates are also available for Android users, offering ready-made editing commands like “place me in a fashion shoot.”
Google is also expanding the “Ask Photos” feature, which was previously only available in limited regions, worldwide. Now users will be able to find the photos they want in their galleries more easily. This tool is starting to support more than 100 new regions and 17 different languages.
All these updates are considered a reflection of Google’s efforts to integrate artificial intelligence more directly into daily user experiences. Although the long-term effects of such innovations are not yet clear, these advanced editing options brought to the iOS ecosystem make Google Photos a more attractive alternative for iPhone users.
