Google Photos adds new indicator to show when images have been edited

Google introduces new feature to enhance transparency

In a move to provide greater transparency to its users, Google has announced a new feature for its popular photo storage and sharing service, Google Photos. The new feature will add an indicator to images that have been edited using artificial intelligence (AI), making it easier for users to identify and understand any modifications that have been made.

Empowering users with knowledge and choice

This new indicator is part of Google's ongoing efforts to empower users with more information and control over their content. By clearly indicating which images have been edited with AI, users can make more informed decisions about how they use and share their photos.

The indicator will appear as a small icon in the corner of the edited image, providing a quick and easy way for users to identify modified photos. This will be particularly useful for users who want to ensure that the images they share are an accurate representation of the original content, or for those who want to avoid any confusion or misrepresentation.

Building trust and maintaining integrity

The addition of this new indicator aligns with Google's commitment to transparency and user trust. By providing users with clear and accessible information about image modifications, Google is helping to maintain the integrity of its platform and ensuring that users can trust the content they see and share.

This new feature is currently rolling out to Google Photos users on Android, iOS, and the web. It is expected to be available to all users in the coming weeks.
