Not true. I use the Outlook app on my iOS device and get instant notifications for my Gmail accounts.
Got a tip for us?

No thanks. No way would I edit any of my photos on any phone.
It's a nice parlor trick for those who aren't fussy about photography.
I'm old school. I distinctly remember waiting for the best part of an hour until the following installation was eventually free of annoying humans!
Yes, I didn't do anything with the shadow. It seems that the one woman's shadow overlaps on the one taken out. So I suppose I could have selected some of the shadow to take out. I'm sure the Google app wouldn't have taken out the shadow if it wasn't selected. These tools are not perfect, and if you were working on a photo and you would spend a little more time tweaking things. I just wanted to give a look at how each program worked by simply making one selection of only the girl. Clearly Apple Photo's was did the worst job making the added stone pavers somewhat blurred. The example of the Google images is a more simple one, as there are no shadows, and the background is not to complex, but if you look carefully you can see where the people were, it didn't do a perfect job. Additional hand work would be required to do a professional job. This technology has been around for many years in Photoshop and other programs like the ones I demonstrated.
Just one more way people can go on social media and lie lie lie about reality to make themselves the center of the universe. "I went to this fabulous place and.... *presses some buttons* I was the only one there!"
I shudder to think how many photos I've been removed from in the short time this has been available. It would be cool if you could set up removal notifications, so when you remove someone from a photo, they get notified. That would be a good zinger for the exes.
I tried this but it pasted an Ad into my photo.

I thought the point of this feature is that it's something only possible because of the Tensor chip... awkward.
Honestly, I don't get why magic eraser gets so much hype. I use the 7 Pro, previously had a Note20 Ultra. Samsung has had this feature way earlier than Google (and that in Samsung's stock Photos app) and it worked way better and faster than the magic eraser lol
Hate google drive as it forces a bunch of extra hoops to access and download anything if you don’t use google and get sent something instead of just iMessaging it or downloading from iCloud if sent. Collaboration features have been awesome for two years now. You should check them out. Less clunky than Google’s.Sadly this is why I still have a lot of Google stuff.
- Drive is better for collaboration with others and is a full fledged website vs iCloud
- Gmail actually has instant notifications vs Mail only updates when the app is opened
- Photos has a ton of cool features before and now this.
- Google’s Office suite is better as well with all the compatibility/exporting support
If it wasn’t for Apple hardware in general I would have been gone as their first party apps are limited and never evolve it feels.
Mail can show instant notifications on the locked screen, Notification Center, or banners if you so desire. It’s set in settings. You may have not turned these on when they became available several years ago.
Apple’s photo app has a crazy amount of features out of the box including the automatic removal of the entire background they showed off last year before this Google version.
I find Google Docs to be clumsy to use and unattractive to look at. I have used Apple’s suite for years a much prefer it to MS Office and especially GD. The way it all works together at the OS level allows me to work much faster. If have worked at different places and no matter where I was I would bring my own Apple laptop to be more productive.
You clearly are not using them. They make hundreds of changes they don’t have time to promote on stage and can export in all common formats. The only issue is some printers I find the need to adjust down to 97% to fit properly from the Mac. That’s from any software though.
I like the rectangular waves on the right, where the people were.
I never noticed this from the show - and never really thought about it before - but I finally see that those are two different base photos.
Quite. I guess it allows for upsell to a more natural-looking result: "The more you pay, the more we lie for you."
Yeah, like someone above said: Take better pictures.
And if that's too much trouble, be authentic.
Am I missing something,..I still don't see the option even with Google One. Can I assume it's slowly being rolled out worldwide?
well it's not free you would have to pay a min of £1.59 or whatever it is each month. So google does get something out of it.
Been doing it for years on iOS. This is what third parties are for in the first place.
I actually mistakingly thought the same. Does the feature work when not connected to the internet?
