Google Photos May Get Nano Banana AI , Claims New Report

SMRTR summary

Google Photos is preparing to integrate Gemini's "Nano Banana" AI technology, which allows users to merge and remix multiple images using simple text prompts. App investigators discovered a hidden animation in the Android Photos app showing an unreleased "Create" tool that transforms regular selfies into various images including popular memes, mirroring Nano Banana's viral capabilities. Unlike Google Photos' current editing features, this new tool can pull subjects from one image and place them into another through multi-image operations. However, the feature may initially be limited to U.S. users only, potentially frustrating international users who already have access to Nano Banana through the Gemini app.
