Overview
- The Android app’s new face touch-ups, announced Monday, are rolling out worldwide in stages.
- Users select a face in a photo, then pick tools like heal, smooth, under eyes, irises, teeth, eyebrows, or lips to make targeted edits.
- Each effect includes a slider that dials the strength of the change, which Google says keeps results to subtle refinements rather than drastic makeovers.
- Access requires an Android device running version 9.0 or newer with at least 4 GB of RAM.
- Coverage links the launch to Google’s broader AI push, noting a recent announcement that Gemini’s opt-in Personal Intelligence can draw on Google Photos, while reporters also flag likely retention goals and concerns about routine retouching.
