FULL STORY
======================================================================

Following its debut in October 2023 on the Google Pixel 8 , and Google's 
announcement in April 2024 that the feature would be rolling out to all 
Google Photos users for free , Magic Editor has finally made its way to some 
Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 6 devices  so be on the lookout if you have one of 
these older Pixel phones. 

The rollout is going to be a gradual one, so you may not see the Magic Eraser 
appear in your Camera app immediately. To make sure you get it, check that 
your Pixel phone has the latest version of the Google Photos app when the 
update arrives, you should see a pop-up appear in the Camera app. 

For most users the new free Magic Editor has a limited number of saves (10 
per month to be precise), but the advantage of being a Google hardware owner 
is you have no such restrictions. To get around this on non-Pixel Devices 
youd need to subscribe to 2TB or higher Google One plan. 

Youll also have access to all of Magic Editors tools  including Sky 
Replacement, Photo Unblur, and the now classic Magic Eraser  so youre getting 
the whole Pixel 8 upgrade wholesale with zero downside. Where's your update?

Some social media users are reporting seeing Magic Editor go live on their 
devices, though the rollout does seem somewhat sporadic right now. 

Scrolling through Reddit posts in r/GooglePixel , weve seen a variety of 
users claim they have access to Magic Editor while others with the exact same 
hardware in the same region are out of luck. 

In fairness, this does match up with the gradual rollout Google said this 
would be  with it stating that the full launch of Magic Editor on older 
models could take a few weeks. 

Once you have access to Magic Editor, you'll see that pop-up appear in the 
Camera app the next time you use it. When you edit a photo, youll see a 
sparkle menu thatll show you all of the new tools youve unlocked, including 
the ability to tap or circle an object to remove it from your photo. 

Even if your Google Photos app is up to date, downloading the latest version 
through the Play Store might not automatically unlock the new editing 
features  so dont fret if you install it but dont see any changes to Google 
Photos right away. You might also like Google Photos backup: how to back up
