Google Photos gets new features: 5 things you can do with it
Google Photos is getting a major AI boost with voice-based editing, creative templates, and smarter search powered by Nano Banana. Here are five new ways to edit, create, and search your photos easily.
Fix photos just by asking Google Photos now lets you edit pictures using simple commands. You can type or say things like “remove sunglasses,” “fix a smile,” or “open eyes,” and it will make the changes automatically. The feature uses face recognition to make edits look natural and accurate — no manual tweaks needed.

Talk to edit on iPhone too Editing with your voice or text is now rolling out on iOS in the U.S. You can describe what you want, and Photos will handle the rest. A redesigned editor with gesture controls and one-tap fixes also makes editing smoother for iPhone users.

Transform photos with Nano Banana Google’s powerful AI model, Nano Banana, is now built into Photos. It lets you restyle your images completely — you can ask to turn a selfie into a Renaissance portrait, a mosaic, or even a children’s book illustration. Creativity now just needs a few words.

Create instantly with AI templates For those unsure about prompts, Google Photos now has ready-made AI templates in the “Create with AI” tab. Available in India and the U.S., you can generate fun edits like a “high-fashion photoshoot,” a “professional headshot,” or even a personalized cartoon version of yourself.
Search smarter with Ask Photos Google’s Ask Photos feature, powered by AI, helps you find specific pictures using natural questions — like “show me my Goa trip with Kia.” It’s expanding to 100 new countries and 17 languages. Plus, a new “Ask” button now gives instant answers and edit suggestions while viewing a photo.
