Google Photos Rolls Out Gemini ‘Help Me Edit’ to Eligible U.S. Android Users as Collage Redesign Begins

Eligibility depends on account settings, with the collage refresh arriving in stages.

Overview

  • Google confirmed its conversational Help me edit tool is now active for all eligible Android devices in the U.S. after debuting on the Pixel 10 series.
  • Reporters verified the rollout on non‑Pixel phones, including the OnePlus 13 and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7.
  • Use requires being 18 or older, setting the Google account language to English (U.S.), enabling Face Groups and location estimates, and turning on Ask Photos under Gemini features.
  • The tool handles complex edits via natural‑language prompts, such as removing reflections or fences, adding studio lighting, expanding a photo’s frame, restoring faded images, and creating imaginative scenes.
  • Google announced a major collage editor overhaul—template‑first selection, in‑editor add/remove, new templates, one‑tap sharing, and a Getting started guide—which is rolling out without a firm timeline, with more Photos updates promised in the coming weeks.
