This once great Google Photos feature is losing its magic

So if the magic eraser has lost its magic for you, know that you are not alone in this belief. Longtime users of the popular Google Photos app are increasingly complaining that the Magic Eraser tool no longer works as spectacularly as it used to. What’s more, more and more people say that the tool has trouble making small, precise changes. It still works well when removing large objects, but that was about it. This is where its advantages actually end. Everything indicates that the performance drop occurred after last year’s modernization of the Photo editor.

And it must be admitted that Google Photos is one of the most frequently updated applications, especially when it comes to new editing tools based on artificial intelligence. At the same time, it is the magic eraser that frustrates users and makes the whole application loud.

Android Authority writes about the problem, and social media (Reddit) is full of complaints that Magic Eraser is no longer as accurate as it used to be. Worst of all, the tool is unable to remove the kinds of details in which it has achieved masterful results so far. We are talking about removing fine hairs, small text and barely visible blemishes. The problem that users complain about concerns the smallest details and their magnification.

Magic Eraser is an editing tool offered by Google that allows you to remove unwanted elements from your photos. However, everything indicates that the company is prioritizing the development of other, newer Help me Edit tools supported by AI. This is more than likely because this function uses Gemini to understand voice messages and make changes.
