HIGHLIGHTS

Google Photos now supports conversational editing, letting users describe edits instead of using manual tools.

Personalised AI edits allow changes like removing sunglasses or fixing expressions in group photos.

The update introduces Nano Banana for creative image transformations and supports multiple Indian languages on eligible Android devices.

After introducing a series of AI features, Google is now rolling out a slew of AI-powered editing tools for Google Photos users. The new update will allow users to edit photos by simply describing the changes as per their requirements, eliminating the need to manually visit different editing tools. With this, the company aims to make image editing easier and accessible for all Android users in India.

Among the newly introduced key features is conversational photo editing. The users can type natural language prompts such as blurring the background, fixing lighting issues, or enhancing colours and let the app handle the rest. Alongside this, Google Photos now supports personalised edits for group photos, enabling users to correct common issues like removing sunglasses or adjusting facial expressions by referencing individuals already identified in their private face groups.

Additionally, the company has also introduced the Nano Banana in Google Photos. It enables creative transformations by letting users describe a new visual style or look for their images, which the AI then applies within seconds.

These AI-driven editing tools are powered by Google’s Gemini model and support multiple Indian languages, including Hindi, Tamil, Marathi, Telugu, Bengali and Gujarati, in addition to English.

If you want to access these features, you will need an Android device that runs on Android 8.0 or above. The device should also have at least 4GB RAM to run the features smoothly.
