Google is giving its Photos app a major AI makeover, and it’s designed to make photo editing and searching easier, faster and more fun. The highlight of the update is the launch of natural language editing for iOS, which will allow iPhone users to make changes to their photos simply by speaking or typing commands. Alongside this, the tech giant has announced a new section in Photos called ‘Create with AI’ which features ready-made AI templates to help you create an image instantly based on popular edits and a new ‘Ask’ button. Keep reading to know all the new features Google has announced for Photos.
One of the biggest updates is that Google Photos’ natural language editing is now coming to iOS. Instead of moving sliders or adjusting filters, iOS users can simply describe what they want using their voice or text, and Google Photos will do the rest. It is starting to roll out on iOS in the US.
Google’s Nano Banana model is now available in the Photos’ editor, letting you completely transform your images. You can restyle any picture into a Renaissance painting, a colorful mosaic, or even a whimsical children’s storybook illustration, simply by describing the style you want.
