Google Rolls Out Pixel 10’s Conversational Photo Editor to Eligible Android Users in the U.S.

The Gemini-based tool uses natural-language prompts and attaches C2PA Content Credentials to disclose AI-assisted edits.

Overview

  • Starting Sept. 23, eligible users can tap “Help me edit” in Google Photos to request changes by voice or text rather than manual tools.
  • Gemini generates multiple edit options per request and supports follow-up prompts for refinements across basic fixes and creative transformations.
  • Access is limited to U.S. users 18+ with accounts set to English and specific settings enabled, including Face Groups and location estimates.
  • Google says users must opt into Ask Photos and Gemini in the Photos app, with reports noting Google Photos version 7.42 or newer is required.
  • The feature debuted as a Pixel 10 exclusive and now expands beyond those devices in the U.S., with no confirmed timeline for iOS or international availability.
