Google Photos brings AI virtual closet to Android and iOS in U.S., Brazil and India
🎧 Listen to this story
Google Photos has released a feature that creates an AI-powered virtual closet from the clothes shown in users’ photos. Users can filter items by categories such as tops, bottoms and jewelry, then combine them to create different outfits. The feature first arrived on Android in June and is now also available on iOS in the United States, Brazil and India.
Google says data about users’ clothes and dressing habits is not shared with third parties such as retailers. The update also includes Google Photos improvements such as prompt-based editing in Gemini Spark, an upgraded markup tool and more Remix templates; Android users also get “Moods” filters with styles including 35mm film and 2000s digital camera. Gemini Spark requires a Google AI Pro or Ultra subscription in the U.S.
Why it matters · editorial interpretation
The feature turns existing photos into a way to organize clothes and try outfit combinations, expanding Google Photos’ role in everyday decisions. Google’s statement that this data is not shared with retailers matters because the feature relies on information about users’ clothing and dressing habits.
