Google has launched an AI-powered 'Ask to Edit' feature in Google Photos for Android users in the U.S., allowing users to edit photos through voice or text commands.

This conversational editing simplifies the process by removing manual adjustments like sliders and filters, making professional-quality edits accessible to users without editing skills.

Users can request multiple edits simultaneously, such as removing reflections or restoring colors, with the system providing several options to choose from.

The rollout began on September 24, 2025, and is gradually expanding worldwide, with users encouraged to check for updates over the coming days.

Early testing indicates the feature is not yet available in Mexico, reflecting the phased rollout approach.

Initial reactions are enthusiastic, with many calling it a 'game changer,' though some express concerns about over-reliance on AI and potential misuse like image manipulation.

Future updates aim to support more appointment types and event ticket purchases, expanding AI Mode's practical applications.

The feature is available in multiple languages, including Hindi, Japanese, and Brazilian Portuguese, and has recently expanded to Spanish.

Google differentiates AI features by offering AI Mode for immersive, conversational interactions with Gemini AI, and AI Overviews for quick summaries of search queries.

AI Mode has now been launched for Spanish-speaking users globally, enhancing conversational search capabilities across more regions.

This expansion coincides with competitive moves like OpenAI’s ChatGPT Go plan in India and Indonesia, offering higher usage limits and personalized responses.

The AI system uses on-device machine learning and cloud processing to interpret user requests, building on existing features like Magic Editor with added conversational capabilities.
