Android users around the world are now able to access conversational editing in Google Photos, giving them the ability to edit images through natural language commands. This release is available publicly to Android users and targets both everyday consumers and mobile photography enthusiasts who use Google Photos to manage and adjust their image libraries.
The conversational editing feature enables users to request changes to their photos using simple phrases, such as "make the sky brighter" or "remove the person in the background." This leverages on-device machine learning and cloud processing to interpret user commands and apply complex photo adjustments, including:
- Object removal
- Background blur
- Color enhancements
Conversational editing is rolling out to all eligible Android users in the U.S.! 🎉

Compared to traditional editing tools, conversational editing removes the need for manual adjustment sliders or complicated menus, and it differs from previous versions by focusing on AI-driven, intuitive interaction.
Early feedback from users highlights the increased convenience, with some industry analysts noting the move positions Google Photos ahead of competitors like Apple Photos, which currently rely on more manual editing workflows. The rollout covers Android devices in multiple regions, aligning with Google’s ongoing efforts to integrate generative AI into everyday applications.
Google has a history of leveraging artificial intelligence in its products, particularly in the Google Photos app, which has introduced features like Magic Eraser and AI-powered sorting in recent years. This latest update continues the company’s strategy of making advanced photo editing tools accessible to a broad audience, maintaining its leadership in the mobile photo management space.
