  • Google Photos introduces a new “AI info” section to identify AI-edited images.
  • The section will be visible in the photo details under “Details.”
  • The “AI info” section will show the “Credit” and “Digital Source Type” fields.

Generative image editing is everywhere now to the point that it is often difficult to identify real images from AI-edited images.

Google Photos is now taking the lead to make it easier to see if an image has been edited with AI.

As per recent reports, Google Photos is adding a new “AI info” section to the photo details.

In a time where generative AI on image editing is making complex image adjustments widely accessible to users, such tags can be very helpful in identifying what’s real.

“AI Info” Section in Google Photos

Google Photos is going to identify such edits through an info section

Google announced the details of the new feature in a blog post titled “More transparency for AI edits in Google Photos.”

With the new Google Photos update users can swipe up on an image in Google Photos to get a new “AI info” section under “Details” for images that includes AI editing elements.

The “AI Info” details will appear along with the file name, backup status and location. It will identified by an “i” icon with a sparkle.

This feature is coming to Google Photos on Android, iOS, and the web.

John Fisher, Engineering Director of Google Photos and Google One, mentioned in the blog post, “Photos edited with tools like Magic Editor, Magic Eraser and Zoom Enhance already include metadata based on technical standards from The International Press Telecommunications Council (IPTC) to indicate that they’ve been edited using generative AI. [..] Now we’re taking it a step further, making this information visible alongside information like the file name, location and backup status in the Photos app.”

The new “AI info” section will show details in two specific fields including Credit and Digital Source Type.

The “Credit” field notes edits made with Google’s AI, using tags like “Edited with Google AI” or “Made by Google AI” for edits created in tools like Pixel Studio and Gemini.

On the other hand, the “Digital Source Type” field specifies the types of edits applied.

The “Edited using Generative AI” indicates the use of tools like Magic Editor, Magic Eraser, and Zoom Enhance.

While Zoom Enhance is exclusive to Google devices, the “Magic” tools are available to all Google Photos users on Android and iOS.


Secondly, there will be a “Composite of captured elements” to mark features like Best Take and Add Me, exclusive to Pixel devices, which don’t use AI but don’t capture an actual single moment.

As per Google’ss blog post, the “AI Info” tag will not be limited to Google tools. Google is expanding this to apply to images that follow metadata standards set by the International Press Telecommunications Council (IPTC), which includes both “Credit” and “Digital Source Type” details.

Google also highlighted that removing distractions, enhancing lighting and creating new compositions are now easier thanks to AI.

“As we bring these tools to more people, we recognize the importance of doing so responsibly with our AI Principles as guidance,” says Google.

Google is also flagging images created by blending multiple photos, such as those produced by the “Best Take” feature on Pixel phones.

Looking forward, Google aims to expand transparency around AI edits, reinforced by its recent partnership with the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA).

“This work is not done, and we’ll continue gathering feedback and evaluating additional solutions to add more transparency around AI edits,” Fisher wrote in the blog post.

FAQs

Q1. What is the new “AI info” section in Google Photos?

Answer. The new “AI info” section in Google Photos will appear under “Details” for images that include AI editing elements, identified by an “i” icon with a sparkle.

Q2. What information will the “AI info” section show?

Answer. The “AI info” section will show details in two specific fields: Credit and Digital Source Type. The Credit field notes edits made with Google’s AI, and the Digital Source Type field specifies the types of edits applied.

Q3. Will the “AI info” tag be limited to Google tools?

Answer. No, the “AI Info” tag will not be limited to Google tools. Google is expanding this to apply to images that follow metadata standards set by the International Press Telecommunications Council (IPTC).

  • Reliance declined the developer’s proposal and hinted at possible legal action.

The Indian entertainment industry is anticipating a major restructuring with the much-anticipated merger between JioCinema and Disney+ Hotstar.

Industry analysts have predicted that the merged platform could soon dominate the Indian streaming space. The merger deal has been in the spotlight for quite a few months now but the recent news has taken every by surprise.

In an unexpected move, a tech-savvy individual from Delhi has acquired the domain name JioHotstar.com anticipating the future of the merged platform. While this could complicate plans for a unified streaming service under that name, the techie had some demands planned. Here’s the complete story.

Details of the JioCinema and Disney+ Hotstar deal have been under wrap for now, but certain rumours suggested that the combined platform could be named JioHotstar.

Before the rumour could be confirmed, it was reported that the domain name JioHotstar.com had already been claimed by a Delhi-based app developer.

The domain now leads to a simple webpage with the message “Best of Entertainment, Streaming Soon,” alongside a message for Reliance executives, explaining the story behind the domain’s acquisition.

The developer reveals that he seized the domain in early 2023 after hearing reports of a potential merger due to Disney+ Hotstar’s subscriber loss, particularly after losing IPL streaming rights.

He shares, “I am an app developer based in Delhi, currently working on my startup. I came across news about Disney+ Hotstar’s dip in active users and thought Reliance could be the one to acquire it.”

Inspired by Jio’s past rebranding of Saavn to JioSaavn, he decided to check for the availability of the domain JioHotstar—and found it open.

The developer, however, isn’t looking for a quick gain.

In a heartfelt request on the domain’s homepage, he asks Reliance to help fund his dream of attending Cambridge University’s entrepreneurship program in exchange for the domain.

He shares his journey, explaining that a past project of his was selected for Cambridge’s Accelerate program but that financial constraints kept him from attending.

He writes, “Cambridge offers a full degree program in entrepreneurship, which I’ve always dreamed of pursuing but could never afford… I thought, ‘This might just be the opportunity to make that dream happen.”

The screenshots of the domain went viral on X (previously Twitter).

Many users quickly came in support of the developer and expressed how Reliance can easily support his education. A user on X wrote, “Not gonna lie this is a really smart move and I’m pretty sure that £93,345 ain’t going waste.”

Another user commented, “I hope some lawyer comes forward and represents him.”

Reliance Declines Request

Meanwhile, the developer also updated the webpage with news of his request to Reliance for £93,345—matching Cambridge’s program fees—which was turned down by Ambujesh Yadav, AVP of Commercials at Reliance.

Yadav reportedly declined the proposal, even hinting at possible legal action to reclaim the domain.

In the update, the developer wrote, “I don’t have the power to stand against Reliance. I might automatically lose access of this domain in few hours. If any legal professional could help, I would be grateful.”

As the merger moves ahead, it remains to be seen how Reliance responds to this unexpected incident.

FAQs

Q1. What did the Delhi-based developer do in anticipation of the JioCinema and Disney+ Hotstar merger?

Answer. The developer acquired the domain name JioHotstar.com and requested funding for his Cambridge dream in exchange for the domain.

Q2. How did Reliance respond to the developer’s proposal?

Answer. Reliance declined the developer’s proposal and hinted at possible legal action to reclaim the domain.

Highlights

  • WhatsApp is testing personalised emoji reactions similar to Instagram and Telegram.
  • Also, a feature to let users create their own sticker packs directly within the app.
  • A video autoplay feature for channels is also being tested.

Ever since Meta acquired three of the most influential social media platforms, Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, the company has often picked a leaf from one app to replicate the feature on another.

WhatsApp somehow has been on the receiving end of features more than the other two apps.

The messaging app has introduced a variety of tools, including Communities, channels and end-to-end encryption to align with other apps like Instagram and Telegram to suit perfect modern communication needs.

We recently reported on the upcoming music support for WhatsApp’s Status Updates and now, it appears WhatsApp is also testing some other features taking hints from Instagram.

Personalised Emoji Reactions in WhatsApp Beta

As per a recent WABetaInfo update, WhatsApp is testing a new feature that will allow its users to react to messages with their most recently used emojis.

WABetaInfo has been a reliable source for WhatsApp features and updates.

This new feature was spotted by WABetaInfo in WhatsApp beta for Android version 2.24.22.16.

It brings personalised emoji reactions to the platform similar to how they work on Instagram, Telegram, Facebook Messenger, and Slack.

Currently, WhatsApp’s default reaction list includes 👍, ❤️, 😂, 😮, 😢, and 🙏.  After the update, users will be able to see their top seven most-used emojis at the top of the list, making reactions quicker and more personal.

Moreover, users can swipe left to access more emojis or use the + button to explore the full emoji list.

Create Your Own Sticker Packs

In a separate WABetaInfo report, it is suggested that WhatsApp is testing the ability for users to create and share their own sticker packs.

This feature reportedly is available in the WhatsApp beta for Android version 2.24.22.13 and it will let users design and customize their stickers directly within the app.

Currently, users often rely on third-party apps for sticker creation, so this new feature simplifies the process.

Users will be able to tap on any sticker and choose the “Create your own” option allowing them to build custom packs.

This update also helps with sticker organization, allowing users to easily manage their favourite stickers without cluttering their “Favourites” section.

WhatsApp Testing Video Autoplay Feature for Channels

Mashable, in one of its recent reports, mentioned that another feature being tested in the beta version will allow video autoplay for channels. This if true will make it easier for users to consume content without additional clicks.

As of now, it is still unclear when these features will be available in the stable version.

FAQs

Q1. What personalized feature is WhatsApp testing in its beta version?

Answer. WhatsApp is testing a new feature that will allow its users to react to messages with their most recently used emojis.

Q2. What is the purpose of the video autoplay feature being tested on WhatsApp?

Answer. The video autoplay feature for channels makes it easier for users to consume content without additional clicks.

Q3. How will WhatsApp’s new sticker pack feature benefit users?

Answer. WhatsApp is testing the ability for users to create and share their own sticker packs, simplifying the sticker creation process directly within the app.

As 2024 is in its last quarter now, rumours and leaks have shifted their focus to what’s coming next year. One of the major releases in the first few months of 2025 is going to be the Samsung Galaxy S25 series.

So, keeping up with tradition, more hints and leaks are surfacing around the upcoming flagship series now more than ever.

Just last week, we read some hints about the possible Galaxy S25 colour choices and now we are hearing some more possibilities from another source.

  • Sparkling Blue

In addition to the above-mentioned colours, the Galaxy S25 Plus may also get an exclusive Midnight Black option. This won’t be available for the base Galaxy S25.

This new update now suggests a strong partnership will be witnessed between Samsung and Qualcomm for now.

For those of you who are wondering what is Samsung’s plan for its Exynos SoC, we are hearing the company is working on pushing it for the Galaxy S27 Series as of now.

Here’s a complete report on the latest news breaks.

Galaxy S26 To Use Snapdragon Processors

Even though Samsung is leaning on Qualcomm for the next few years, the company hasn’t abandoned its Exynos processors.

According to Ice Universe, Samsung is developing a new Exynos chip codenamed “Ulysses.” This processor is expected to feature in the Galaxy S27 Series, which will be released in 2027.

Certain reports suggest that originally Samsung had planned to use its in-house Exynos 2500 chipset built on 3nm technology for both Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+ models.

The company even discussed the Exynos 2500 during its earnings call.

However, Samsung couldn’t manufacture enough of these chips because of some production. As a result, the company had to shift to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chip for all Galaxy S25 models instead.

Samsung is reportedly aiming to revive its Exynos brand through Project Ulysses. We’ll have to wait until 2027 to see if Samsung can make a successful comeback with Exynos in the Galaxy S27.
