Edit photos like a pro with your voice: Conversational Editing on Google Photos explained


Let’s be honest, not all of us are skilled at photo editing. We’ve all taken a picture of that barely Perfect but you have no idea which sliders to move to fix it. Finally, Google Photos has a solution for the rest of us: “Edit the conversation“.

This new AI feature, which was previously exclusive to Pixel 10is now being rolled out to include more Android phones. It lets you skip the complicated tools and tell your phone what you want, either by typing or with your voice.

It may seem like a gimmick, but being able to say “make this look better” and have AI actually do it is a game-changer. It’s the “give up” button for photo editing that we’ve all secretly wanted. Here’s what you need to know.

Below, we’ll walk you through what you’ll need to get started editing the conversation.

Here are some types of edits or instructions you can provide to Ask Photos.

  • Specific modifications: “Increase saturation by 100%” “Sky brightness”

Google Photos settings to check again

If you want to adjust Gemini’s access to Google Photos, don’t forget to check your settings.

From the Google Photos app:

  • Click on your Profile picture
  • Click on Image Settings
  • handle Gemini features in pictures

If you don’t want Google to display every query you make on Ask Photos, you can turn off this setting by turning off “Allow us to access your queries.” Here, you can also choose which Gemini-powered features you want to take advantage of. You can disable Gemini entirely in the Photos app, or individual features, like Ask Photos, Gemini-powered Memories, and Help Me with Address. Anything you’ve asked Photos to remember, such as who a friend, parent, sibling or partner is, can be managed in the remember list.
