• Code within the latest version of Google Photos includes specific error messages that highlight the edits that Magic Editor will refuse to do.
• Magic Editor will refuse to edit photos of ID cards, receipts, images with personally identifiable information, human faces, and body parts.

Google first announced Magic Editor at Google I/O 2023. The feature is now available inside the Google Photos app on the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro.
