What was promised is what was promised: after announcing in April that Google Photos Magic Editor would be free for all Android devices and the start of its deployment at the end of May, we had to be patient but ultimately the Magic Editor is now available in Europeas I myself was able to verify on my device.
This Magic Editor is one of the best AI functions in Google Photos and when we encountered it, it was an exclusive feature of the Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, an incentive to opt for the newer mobile phones from the Mountain View company. But not anymore: If you have an Android phone, we will tell you how to check if you can now use Magic Editor
How to see if your Android device already has Google Photos Magic Editor
This gradual deployment implies that it first reaches certain mobile phones, as is the case with the Google Pixel of previous generations and the Samsung Galaxy. So, in my case, I was able to use it with the Google Pixel 7a.
It should be remembered that initially to use Magic Editor, it was essential to have a Google One subscription, but this is no longer the case, it is completely free although with restrictions. SO, There is a limit of 10 editions per month. What happens if I reach the limit? You’ll have to wait until next month or sign up for Google One. If you own a Pixel, editions will be unlimited.
Checking if you already have Google Photos Magic Editor is as easy as opening the app and tapping the edit icon. If it is available, you will see a new colored button in the lower left corner
If it’s the first time you see it and touch itthen a message will appear indicating that to use it you will first have to download the files necessary for the function (around 82 MB).
Once the download is complete, you will be able to Use Magic Editor on your photos and use all its functions, which go beyond erasing certain elements of the photograph. This way, you can move elements, change their size or change the type of sky once it is detected. In addition to the Editor, you will see other additional functions such as autofocus, portrait lighting, HDR effect or the possibility of highlighting colors.
