According to an APK teardown by Android Authority, Google is testing an expansion of its Pixel-exclusive AI Enhance feature in the Google Photos app by splitting it into two variants, AI Enhance I and AI Enhance II.
The new AI Enhance I limits output to one image instead of three, a move aimed at reducing choice fatigue among users. The current AI Enhance II generates three options by cropping, altering composition, and fixing colors or lighting.
The testing phase is currently limited to a small group of users. Telegram user @y7kka reported the changes, although the author of the article does not have access to this feature yet.
The author reverse-engineered version 7.69.0.890655694 of the Google Photos app to demonstrate interface changes. No significant differences between the outputs of AI Enhance I and II were observed aside from the number of images generated.
Google has not indicated whether the single-image generation of AI Enhance I is faster than the three-image generation of AI Enhance II. Experts are awaiting further insights from Google regarding the motivations behind the features when rolled out more widely.
