Google Photos Wardrobe feature rolls out to AI subscribers, turning closets digital

Google Photos' new Wardrobe feature starts to roll out

Timi is the news and deals reporter for Android Police, who has been reporting on technology since 2008. He has worked in tech retail and also the IT space, providing hardware and software support, which gives him a unique perspective on the tech that he covers. This allows him to effectively break down complex subjects into easy-to-read pieces that even casual readers can enjoy. Before joining Android Police, he was a news writer for XDA, where he eventually transitioned to covering deals. He also worked as an editor and reporter for Neowin, where he covered news and attended major tech events like CES. He also reviewed phones, tablets, PC products, and other devices. In addition, he also created video content for the Neowin YouTube channel. Google Photos used to be pretty bare bones, offering a place to store and edit your photos. Over time, Google has introduced many new features to the app to keep things fresh, with one of the more recent announcements being Wardrobe. Wardrobe allows you to digitally try on clothes, making it easier to mix and match pieces to see how they look without really trying them on. As you can imagine, this can be an absolute lifesaver for some, because Wardrobe can keep an inventory of all your clothes, and you can even add in some new pieces that you don't even own to see how well it fits in with your current rotation. The feature is now rolling out to users (via 9to5Google). However, you will need to be a Google AI Pro and AI Ultra subscriber. This feels like something from the future Now, we've seen apps like this before, but Photos' Wardrobe is different because it doesn't require the user to take photos of their clothes. It can simply obtain this data by scanning previous images you have uploaded to the service. Furthermore, Wardrobe will let you see how these articles of clothing look by dressing a virtual you in the app. Of course, we'll have to see just how useful this feature really is. And with users finally getting access, it won't be long before we get to hear folks' thoughts on Wardrobe. For the time being, the feature will only be available to Android users in Brazil, India, and the US. Google does have plans to roll it out to iOS and iPadOS users too. Google will make Wardrobe available to other "select" users as well, but it didn't provide details about who will be eligible. So, if you're in a supported region, and you have access, we recommend checking it out. Let us know how well the feature works in the comments below. While this is a pretty big addition to Photos, it isn't the only one that we've seen this month. Just last week, Google gave custom stickers a home, making it easier to access current and past creations. If you're someone that's into creating stickers, this one is a must-see addition.

Google Photos starts rolling out 'Wardrobe,' a digital version of your closet, just not for everyone

Announced earlier this year, the new "Wardrobe" feature of Google Photos is starting to roll out, but only for paid subscribers and only on Android. In April, Google announced "Wardrobe" for Photos, a new feature that could digitize your closet and/or dresser and sort through your clothing to create outfits that you can preview on a digital avatar of yourself. Now, the feature is starting to roll out as Google confirmed on a forum post. The feature is "slowly" rolling out starting in the US, Brazil, and India, with more regions to follow. It's also Android-only to start, with iOS support planned "in the future." Google has also confirmed the requirements for this feature. You'll need a paid Google One AI Pro or AI Ultra plan, at least for now, as well as meeting age requirements and leaving Face Groups turned on. Google explains: This feature will start rolling out in Brazil, India, and the U.S. first to Google AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers -- as well as other select users -- on Android devices, with plans to expand to iPhone and iPad in the future.
