Since then, the feature has [trickled down to other Android devices](https://www.androidauthority.com/google-photos-ask-photos-wider-rollout-3600454/) as well. The company has also rolled out the Ask button for eligible users in the US, which lets them make AI-powered edits to their photos. Now, Google is working on making it even more useful.\n\nYou’re reading an [ Authority Insights](https://andauth.co/AuthorityInsights) story. Authority Insights brings you all the latest exclusive reports, app teardowns, leaks, and in-depth tech coverage from the\n\n*Android Authority*team that you won’t find anywhere else.\n\nWhile digging through the latest version of the Google Photos app (v7.84.0.947289513), we spotted a change to the “Ask” button that appears when viewing an image. With a bit of tinkering, we managed to get it working, and it seems to be a fairly useful feature.\n\nWith the new feature, Google Photos will let users edit the metadata of their photos using the “Ask” button in the app. We used the button to change a photo’s date, and it worked as expected.\n\nThe feature also supports editing other details: it can automatically generate and add a caption to photos, and it can change a photo’s place information as well.\n\nIt’s worth noting that editing a photo’s metadata has been available in the Google Photos app for a long time now. However, it’s a manual process. With the new feature, users will be able to edit a photo’s details by simply asking Google Photos to make the change. The app will also show a tooltip informing users of the new feature when it actually rolls out.\n\nThe feature isn’t live yet, but it seems to be working properly and looks ready for a rollout. Hopefully, the company will release it soon. We will keep an eye on this feature and will update you with any new information when we come across it.\n\n**⚠️** An\n\n**APK teardown** helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release.\n\nThank you for being part of our community.
