a selection of unique camera and photo functionalities powered by Gemini. The updated Camera Coach offers real-time advice on improving photography with one of the latest Pixel 10 devices. More intriguing is a new feature in Google Photos that allows Pixel 10 users to modify images by typing commands through text, resembling a chat with Gemini. Rather than manually making edits by tapping the screen and selecting options, you can employ conversational editing to provide directives for the AI.
On Tuesday, Google revealed that the conversational editing function in Google Photos will be made available to Android users beyond just Pixel 10 users. According to a blog post, the feature will be accessible to qualifying Android users in the U.S. The timeline for its availability to international Android users or if it will be present in the Google Photos app for iPhone remains unclear. As a reminder, earlier this year, Google introduced several AI enhancements to Google Photos, including the capability to transform photos into videos using the Veo 3 video generation model.
All images taken or modified using Pixel 10 devices contain C2PA metadata by default, which indicates the source of the image and clarifies whether it was edited using AI or non-AI tools. It is assumed that similar safety measures are integrated into the conversational editing features for Google Photos.
