The update also brings the Nano Banana AI image model, allowing users to recreate photos in creative styles like Renaissance portraits or cartoon strips.
Google is introducing AI templates to help users transform photos into different themes or styles. This feature will be available next week on Android under the Create tab in the U.S. and India.
