It took longer than we expected,\u00a0but it finally looks like it may now be happening.<\/p>\n<p>A user on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/android_beta\/comments\/1m77nid\/new_google_photos_editor_is_live\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Android beta subreddit<\/a> shared screenshots showing the new Google Photos editor and access to Reimagine on their Pixel 6 running Android 16 QPR1 Beta 3. Another report in the <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/GappsLeaks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Gapps Leaks Telegram group<\/a> shows the feature appearing on a Pixel 8 as well. These examples suggest Google is slowly enabling the Magic Editor upgrade across the Pixel 6, 7, and 8 series, as our teardown hinted it would.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Og\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Google Photos Reimagine Feature Pixel 6 Image 1\"  alt=\"Google Photos Reimagine Feature Pixel 6 Image 1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Google-Photos-Reimagine-Feature-Pixel-6-Image-1.jpg\"\/>Reimagine being applied on Pixel 6.<img class=\"e_Og\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Google Photos Reimagine Feature Pixel 6 Image 2\"  alt=\"Google Photos Reimagine Feature Pixel 6 Image 2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Google-Photos-Reimagine-Feature-Pixel-6-Image-2.jpg\"\/>Tornados added to the sky using the tool.<img class=\"e_Og\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Google Photos Reimagine Feature Pixel 8 Telegram\"  alt=\"Google Photos Reimagine Feature Pixel 8 Telegram\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Google-Photos-Reimagine-Feature-Pixel-8-Telegram.jpg\"\/>A Telegram user reports reimagine on the Pixel 8.<\/p>\n<p>That doesn\u2019t mean everyone on the latest app and OS builds will see it. Multiple users running the same Photos version (7.37.0.782944147) report still having the old UI or being unable to use Reimagine. As the Reddit thread points out, this suggests a classic server-side rollout, meaning Google is toggling access remotely rather than tying it to app updates or Android versions.<\/p>\n<p>Reimagine is part of Google\u2019s generative AI push within Magic Editor. It allows users to make dramatic edits, like those seen in the tornado sky above, simply by describing what they want to see. While the Pixel 9 series launched with the feature last year, the code for Reimagine and its sibling feature Auto Frame was what we found in builds for earlier Pixel models, suggesting broader support was planned.<\/p>\n<p>For now, availability seems sporadic and possibly limited to users in Google\u2019s test group. But if you\u2019re running a supported Pixel and the latest Photos beta, it\u2019s worth checking to see if you\u2019ve made the cut.<\/p>\n<p>Got a tip?
