Last year, Google launched Magic Editor on the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. It uses generative AI to make complex edits with simple actions, like repositioning the subject or turning the sky a different color. Now, this is expanding to all Pixel devices with unlimited usage.

Additionally, all Google Photos users on both Android and iOS will get 10 Magic Editor saves per month. Going beyond this limit requires either a Pixel device or a Premium Google One plan that includes 2TB of storage or more.
