Google Photos Expands AI Editing Tools to All Users Without a Subscription
Google announced the AI-powered tools within Google Photos will be available to all users.
Google announced that tools supported by artificial intelligence (AI) technology in Google Photos will be available to all users of the application, without needing to be a customer, including Magic Eraser, Photo Unblur, and Portrait Light.
This will come into effect from May 15, at the same time as Google's annual developer conference. The rollout of this expansion is expected to take place several weeks after that date, as is often done by Google.
Quoting GSM Arena, Google revealed that the Magic Eraser, Photo Unblur and Portrait Light features will also be available on more devices, including Pixel tablets. Last year, Google launched Magic Editor on the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro.
This Magic Editor feature utilizes generative AI to simplify complex editing processes with easy steps, such as changing the position of the subject or changing the sky to a different color. Now, this feature is available on all Pixel devices with unlimited use.
In addition, all Google Photos users on both Android and iOS devices will be able to save 10 Magic Editor usage per month. To exceed this limit, a Pixel device or Google One Premium plan is required, including 2 TB or more of storage.
Previously, Google was reported to be developing a system capable of providing a multi-window desktop experience on Android devices. This development process is said to have progressed.
Android Authority discovered a number of interesting new additions after tweaking developer flags on the latest Android 14 QPR3 2.1 beta. These findings show a multi-window experience on video.
Meanwhile, according to a new report from the Financial Times, Google is seriously considering charging fees for searches supported by artificial intelligence (AI) technology, currently known to the public as Search Generative Experience (SGE).
This is the first time Google has considered charging usage fees for search products, so if this really happens, this will be big news. However, it is estimated that this decision will not take place for a long time, because it is reportedly still in the internal discussion stage.
