Google Photos is stepping up its game with a major update that transforms the app into a powerful video editing powerhouse. The new features, powered by artificial intelligence, aim to rival the capabilities of popular video editing platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels.

The update introduces a streamlined interface, placing commonly used tools like trimming, speed adjustment, and auto-enhancement at the forefront. The AI-powered video presets take editing a step further by automatically trimming, adjusting lighting, controlling speed, and applying effects like dynamic tracking and slow motion. Google claims these intelligent tools will deliver professional-looking results with ease.

This update marks a significant shift for Google Photos, which previously offered basic editing tools. The new features, coupled with its AI capabilities, make it a compelling option for users looking to create high-quality videos without the need for separate editing apps.

The update is rolling out gradually, starting today, with wider availability expected closer to the release of Android 15. While individual segment editing and the effectiveness of the AI presets are yet to be confirmed, the update promises a more user-friendly and powerful video editing experience within Google Photos.
