Google Photos now brings a fresh set of AI-powered upgrades to help you edit, search, and transform your memories with unprecedented ease. First, you get personalized editing features where you can type or speak requests—“remove sunglasses,” “open eyes,” or “make someone smile”—and the app uses other photos of the same people to create natural-looking corrections within seconds. This quick-edit tool is now rolling out to iOS users in the US, making complex photo touch-ups much simpler.​

For creative flair, Google's Nano Banana image model is now integrated into Photos. Through the “Help me edit” tool, you can style your photo as a Renaissance painting, mosaic, or illustration—simply by describing what you want. Nano Banana also powers a new “Create with AI” section, designed to offer trending templates for rapid photo transformation. This feature is launching to Android users in the US and India, with personalized templates coming soon based on your unique photo library.​

The search capability inside Google Photos is getting smarter, too. After a brief pause earlier this year, the “Ask Photos” tool returns and expands into more than 100 new countries, now supporting 17 languages. This feature allows you to use plain language to search your library and surface memories, events, or places in seconds.​

Finally, a newly designed “Ask” button appears while viewing individual photos. Just tap it to ask questions about the image, discover related moments, or describe how you want the photo edited—then watch the AI quickly deliver results. This streamlined feature is available on both Android and iOS in the US, making advanced editing and search more accessible than ever before.
