Google expands Help me photo editing tech to more Android phones

Google announced Tuesday that all Android users can now use Gemini AI for “conversational photo editing” — a perk that was previously exclusive to the Pixel 10, which launched in August.

The tool is straightforward: open the editor, hit “Help me edit,” and describe what you want Gemini to do. It can handle the basics — lighting tweaks, object removal, restoring old shots — or, if you’re feeling bold, it can whip up more whimsical, fantastical edits (like, say, adding a pod of dolphins to your photo). Don’t like the first attempt? Just reply with “make it better” (or something close) and Gemini will take another pass.

While Google’s announcement doesn’t say exactly how Gemini edits your photos (a Google blog post credits only “advanced Gemini capabilities”), this looks to us like the work of Nano Banana, Google’s other viral hit.

Nano Banana, aka Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, is an advanced AI image model that just so happens to excel at image editing. Ever since Nano Banana rolled out, Gemini has been dominating app store charts.

Conversational Photo Editing is just one of the many AI tricks Google is baking into its phones. For instance, the company recently showed off its new Camera Coach feature during the Made by Google event — roping in Call Her Daddy host Alex Cooper and none other than Jimmy Fallon as guinea pigs. Camera Coach walks you step by step through snapping the perfect shot — then lets Gemini swoop in afterward for the edits. (Camera Coach is still a Pixel 10 exclusive, however.)

For now, the conversational editing tool is only available in English and limited to U.S. users 18 and up. If you’re on an Android device, you can start using it right away. Simply go to edit a photo on your device and look for the “Help me edit” option.
