Google recently announced that it’s bringing over new AI-powered updates to Google Photos, which enables a handful of new features designed to simplify editing, creation, and search. The update also comes integrated with Nano Banana, Gemini’s top-of-the-line image editing model.
With that in mind, Google Photos now offers more personalized edits, allowing users to fix multiple flaws like removing sunglasses or correcting smiles via a single natural language request, using images from private face groups for accurate results. Furthermore, the ability to verbally describe edits is also rolling out for iOS users in the U.S., alongside the redesigned photo editor.
Nano Banana has also been integrated into the Photos editor, which enables creative transformations. Users can now edit their images into entirely new styles, such as classical portraits or storybook illustrations just by asking. To help users generate images, a new “Create with AI” section with ready-made templates is coming to Android users in the U.S. and India, with personalized templates based on user hobbies to follow as well.
Additionally, Google Search is also getting an upgrade—Ask Photos is expanding its availability to over 100 new countries and 17 new languages this week, and a new “Ask” button is rolling out on Android and iOS in the U.S., allowing users to start a conversation while viewing a photo to instantly get information about its content or describe edits.
