Google Photos is rolling out manual photo stacking on Android while making its AI-powered virtual wardrobe feature more widely available in the US
Google is expanding the capabilities of Google Photos with two useful features aimed at giving users greater control over their photo libraries. The app is rolling out manual photo stacks on Android while also widening access to its AI-powered virtual wardrobe tool.
Google Photos has traditionally relied on automatic organisation to help users manage large collections of photos and videos. The latest additions give users more ways to organise their memories manually and use artificial intelligence for everyday tasks.
Manual Photo Stacks Arrive on Android
Google has started rolling out Manual Photo Stacks to Android users after the feature was previously available on iOS.
The feature allows users to select multiple pictures and create a stack themselves. Once several images are selected in Google Photos, a new “Stack Photos” option appears in the toolbar. Tapping it groups the selected images into a single stack, helping users organise similar or related pictures more efficiently.
Manual stacking could be particularly useful for users who frequently take several photos of the same subject and want to keep their library organised without relying entirely on Google’s automatic sorting.
The rollout appears to be gradual, meaning the feature may not be immediately available to every Android user.
AI Virtual Wardrobe Expands
Google is also increasing the availability of its virtual wardrobe feature, which uses photos stored in Google Photos to identify clothing items owned by users.
The tool creates a digital wardrobe containing recognised clothes and can suggest different outfit combinations using those items. This could help users decide what to wear without having to manually catalogue their clothes.
Google Photos also includes an AI-powered “try on” option. Users can generate an image showing themselves wearing a selected outfit, providing a visual preview of how the combination might look.
The wardrobe feature is now reportedly seeing a wider rollout in the US after initially becoming available to a limited number of users.
