The timing of this announcement, coming just after Google’s annual developer conference, may not be coincidental. It aligns with the tech giant’s ongoing efforts to democratise access to advanced features and enhance user experience. However, users should anticipate a gradual rollout over several weeks following the specified date, in line with Google’s customary release strategy.
Google disclosed that the expanded AI editing suite will be compatible with “more devices, including Pixel tablets,” broadening its accessibility across various platforms. This move underscores Google’s commitment to innovation and inclusivity within its ecosystem.
