This new Google Photos feature makes Apple Photos look obsolete

What’s happened? Tired of dragging sliders and trying different settings in the Google Photos app to make your picture look better? A new feature can help you achieve the desired look by just describing the changes you want to make.

Why is this important? While most users are aware of the changes they’d like to make, they might not know how to implement them. For new Google Photos users or those unfamiliar with concepts like exposure or contrast, the “Help me edit” feature allows you to make even the most complex edits in seconds.

Why should I care? Suppose you’re about to post on Instagram and realize the picture could use some improvement in composition and lighting. In that case, you can simply type “straighten the picture and improve the lighting,” and wait a couple of seconds for the magic to unfold.

OK, what’s next? The “Help me edit” feature in Google Photos makes editing a picture as simple as having a conversation with an AI assistant, saving time on manual edits and unlocking more creative possibilities. While AI integration across its Photos app remains the company’s priority, it has also updated the collage creation interface with more intuitive and useful controls.
