Google Photos is now smarter than ever, especially with all the nifty tools it received in the past year. The app has been continuously updated with new tools, including AI-powered features, to make photo editing and management easier. One of the notable features added recently is Wardrobe.
This feature uses AI to go through the user’s library, pick images with their face, and extract the clothes they were wearing. The extracted pieces are then sorted into categories like dresses, bottoms, and accessories. To access this feature, users need to have over 1,000 photos of themselves in Google Photos and be located in the U.S., Brazil, or India.
Using the Wardrobe Feature
To use the Wardrobe feature, users can follow a few simple steps. First, they need to open Google Photos and press the Collections tab at the bottom. The app will then curate their wardrobe and send a notification once it’s done. Users can find their Wardrobe album in the Collections tab and try out different combinations of pieces by hitting the Create button.
Google Photos will generate a photo of the user wearing the selected clothes. This feature makes it easy for users to keep track of their clothes and plan outfits without having to upload individual photos of each item.
Another new feature added to Google Photos is the Redact pen tool, which allows users to hide sensitive information in photos. Instead of using a solid color, the Redact tool adds a pixelated effect to the area drawn on, making it blend in more naturally with the rest of the picture.

To use the Redact tool, users can open the photo they want to edit, choose the redaction style, adjust the thickness of the pen, and draw over the area they want to hide. The Redact tool is currently exclusive to Android devices, with a gradual rollout to users worldwide.
Customizing Photos with Moods
Google Photos has also introduced a new feature called Moods, which offers a set of filters powered by generative AI. To access Moods, users can go to the Create tab, select Moods, and choose the photo they want to apply the filter to.
Users can then tap on their preferred mood and adjust the effect. Moods is currently only available for Android users.
In addition to these features, Google Photos has a chatbox that allows users to type a prompt to let AI handle edits for them. This feature is currently only available for users in the U.S. with a Google AI Pro or Ultra account.
