This new feature uses AI to improve your photos in a way you might not have even realized you needed. The feature is called AI Image Expander, and it allows you to extend photos to better fit whatever need you have for them. You might think such a feature requires a one-time or monthly payment (as it does with other apps like Photoshop and Canva), but this time around it's 100% free and built right into the Google Photos app.

Conversational editing in Photos is now rolling out to all eligible Android users in the US. To use the feature, users will need to set their Google Account language to English (US).
