Google Photos Brings GeminiNano Banana’ Editing to the App, Expands Ask Photos Globally

A phased rollout introduces conversational, person‑aware edits and new creation tools to select markets first.

Overview

  • Google has integrated its Nano Banana image model into the Photos editor, enabling prompt-based restyles like Renaissance portraits or mosaics while preserving subject likeness.
  • Personalized “Help me edit” can open eyes, remove sunglasses, or adjust smiles using private face groups, with voice or text editing now rolling out on iOS in the U.S.
  • A new Create with AI section featuring ready-made templates launches on Android in the U.S. and India starting next week, with personalized templates planned in the following weeks.
  • Ask Photos’ natural‑language search is expanding to more than 100 countries and 17 new languages, and a new in‑photo Ask button is arriving in the U.S. on Android and iOS.
  • Access depends on staged availability by region and platform, the latest app version, and Google accounts with Gemini features enabled.
