Today, Google announced that conversational editing in the Photos app is now available to more users. To use the feature, you’ll need to be an eligible Android owner. This includes being 18 or over, living in the US, having a Google account set to English, having Face Groups turned on, and having location estimates enabled.
In case you’re unfamiliar with Ask Photos, it’s a feature that aims to make editing photos easier. By tapping “Help me edit,” you can verbally describe what changes you want to make to an image, and the app — with help from Gemini — will take care of those edits for you. Additionally, the tool provides suggestions if you don’t know where to start. There’s also an option to say “make it better,” which allows the AI to take over and make tweaks that might improve the image.
Senior writer Ryan Haines walked away impressed by Ask Photos when he put it through its paces. Although the tool isn’t perfect, Haines found that the AI-powered editor delivered mostly on expectations.
