Google marked the 10th anniversary of Google Photos by announcing a major update that brings several useful new features. One of the key improvements lies in the built-in image editor, which will now include AI-based suggestions. These suggestions will offer personalized combinations of effects for image correction, streamlining the editing process for users. It will also be possible to edit specific parts of a photo by selecting an area—such as the sky or a person’s face—after which the service will recommend a suitable enhancement.
Users of recent Pixel series smartphones will see the arrival of tools like Reimagine and Auto Frame. These were first introduced in Magic Editor for the Pixel 9 and will now be accessible alongside the usual brightness and contrast controls. The changes aim to make photo editing more intuitive and efficient across supported devices.
Simplified Sharing and Helpful Reminders
The update also introduces a more convenient way to share photo albums. Now, users can generate a unique QR code that someone else can scan to access the shared album. This improvement eliminates the need to send links or email addresses, making the sharing process much simpler.
In addition to announcing new tools, Google used this milestone to remind users of the platform’s existing capabilities. These features are designed to help users relive meaningful moments and share memories with friends and family. From organizing photos to creating animations and highlight reels, the service offers a broad range of tools to enrich personal photo libraries.
Rollout Timeline and Final Notes
All announced features will begin rolling out on Android devices starting in June 2025, adds NIX Solutions. Support for additional platforms and older devices may follow. We’ll keep you updated as more integrations become available or further improvements are announced.
This update underlines Google’s continued investment in improving user experience through thoughtful design and AI-powered functionality.
