iPhone users are finally getting an update to the Google Photos app! It will bring its AI-powered conversational editing tools to iPhone users. The update, which debuted earlier this year for Pixel and Android devices, introduces the “Help me edit” feature. It will let you make photo edits simply by describing what they want.

So now, instead of manually adjusting settings, you can just tell Google Photos what to do – like “remove reflections,” “brighten the background,” or “make the sky more vibrant.” The app then processes your request and applies the changes automatically. According to Google, this update is “starting to roll out on iOS in the US”; however, a wider rollout is expected soon.

Along with conversational editing, Google has also introduced a redesigned editor interface for iPhone users. The new layout makes photo editing faster and more intuitive, with gesture-based controls, smart suggestions, and one-tap tools.

If you’re new to editing photos, these suggestions can help you make professional-looking changes in seconds – from adjusting brightness and shadows to fine-tuning colour and contrast. This design also provides easier access to all editing options in one place, eliminating the need to jump between menus.
Apart from these, the update also adds new personalised AI capabilities to Google Photos. These tools can make subtle changes to faces in photos, such as opening closed eyes, removing glasses glare, or enhancing smiles – using references from your private face groups for better accuracy.
Google is also integrating its Nano Banana AI model into Google Photos, giving users creative options like turning images into paintings, mosaics, or digital illustrations.
Additionally, a new “Ask” button is being introduced for both Android and iOS. This opens a chatbot-style interface where you can not only edit photos but also ask questions about them – for example, “Show me all beach photos from last summer.”
