Google Photos AI Virtual Closet Reaches Android and iOS in Three Markets
Google Photos launches its AI virtual closet for all Android and iOS users in the U.S., Brazil and India, plus new Gemini Spark, Markup and Moods tools.
Summary
Google Photos made its AI virtual closet available to all Android and iOS users in the U.S., Brazil and India on September 24, 2026. Announced earlier in 2026 for a summer rollout, the feature reached Android first in June. Evoking Cher’s wardrobe software in “Clueless,” it identifies clothing worn in users’ photos, organizes items into categories such as tops, bottoms and jewelry, and lets users combine them into outfits. Google says clothing and style data will not be shared with third parties such as retailers.
The rollout accompanies broader Google Photos updates. Gemini Spark can select, brighten and share photos through one prompt, but requires a Google AI Pro or Ultra subscription in the U.S. Markup adds a redaction pen for blurring sensitive details such as license plates, precise sketch thickness controls and multiple text fonts. Google also added more AI Remix templates, while Android users received Moods filters offering looks including 35mm film and 2000s digicam.
