Summary

  • U.S., Brazil and India users can now access Google Photos’ AI virtual closet on both iOS and Android, completing a rollout that began on Android in June.
  • The feature builds a digital wardrobe from photos of outfits users have worn, then lets them filter items by category and mix and match looks inside the app.
  • Google said clothing and style data from the tool is not shared with third parties such as retailers, framing it as a personal organization feature.
  • The broader Google Photos update also adds Gemini Spark photo editing and sharing by prompt, upgraded Markup tools, more AI Remix templates, and Android-only “Moods” filters.
