Google Photos Adds Seven Face Touch-Up Tools on Android

The update focuses on fast, subtle edits inside the app to cut steps from everyday fixes.

Overview

  • Google Photos, which Google updated Monday, now offers seven face-specific touch-up tools.
  • Users select a face, choose heal, smooth, under eyes, irises, teeth, eyebrows, or lips, then set the effect strength with a slider.
  • Google says the features are rolling out globally on Android devices with at least 4 GB of RAM and Android 9.0 or newer.
  • The company positions the tools for quick, subtle changes like refining skin texture, removing blemishes, brightening eyes, or whitening teeth.
  • Some reports describe broad Android availability, though Google's post outlines minimum specs and a gradual release schedule.
