Google Photos Expands Conversational Editing to More Android Devices

Google Photos is stepping deeper into the age of AI-driven creativity with its new conversational editing feature, which is now being made available to a wider audience of Android users in the US.

Originally showcased as an exclusive highlight of the Pixel 10 series, this tool allows users to edit images by simply describing the changes they want – either by typing or speaking.

The rollout is significant because it signals Google’s intent to make artificial intelligence not just a hidden back-end process, but a visible assistant in everyday apps. For many, editing photos has traditionally meant tapping through sliders and filters, or navigating menus packed with icons. With conversational editing, a new ‘Help me edit’ button in the Photos editor lets users express edits in natural language. For example, one could say “make the sky brighter,” “remove the stranger in the background,” or even “add a tree next to me,” and the integrated Gemini AI takes care of generating the adjustment.

To access the feature, Android users must set their Google Account language to English (US). Once active, the tool not only accepts direct requests but also offers suggestions like ‘make it better,’ giving users a fast starting point. The system supports follow-up instructions, so edits can be refined step by step rather than finalized in one command.

Beyond its convenience, the technology has also sparked curiosity – and a bit of skepticism. Early users noted that while the edits are powerful, AI sometimes produces odd or unrealistic results, such as placing objects in floating positions or blending backgrounds incorrectly. Still, the bigger picture is clear: Google is eager to push people toward AI-powered creativity, ensuring that its Pixel devices and broader Android ecosystem become synonymous with advanced editing capabilities.

For those considering an upgrade, the Pixel 10 Pro 5G remains one of the premium showcases for this technology, available in configurations up to 256GB storage with 16GB RAM. But now, even users outside the Pixel flagship family will be able to experiment with Google’s vision of editing powered by conversation.
