- The Google Photos Reimagine feature is starting to roll out to older Pixels.
- Reports from Reddit and Telegram show it working on Pixel 6 and Pixel 8 devices.
- Access appears limited for now, so not everyone on the same version will see it.
Last September, we spotted early evidence that the Google Photos Reimagine feature, previously exclusive to the Pixel 9 series, might be coming to older Pixels. It took longer than we expected, but it finally looks like it may now be happening.
A user on the Android beta subreddit 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 Gapps Leaks Telegram group 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.
