For a cross-platform photo viewer, Google Photos is pretty handy when it comes to making minor adjustments to your photos from your phone. While the app is available on both iOS and Android, it does offer an extensive set of features for owners of Google Pixel devices. One such exclusive feature that launched with the Pixel 6 series is Magic Eraser, a tool that removes unnecessary elements from your photo to make it perfect.

If you recently purchased the Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro, you should be able to make use of Magic Eraser. However, users have been having a hard time finding this new feature on their Pixel devices. Therefore, in this post, we will explain how to fix the ‘Magic Eraser’ not showing up or available issue on your Pixel 6 series smartphone.

Magic Eraser is Google’s latest way of using computational photography to make your photos just for you. Magic Eraser, as the name suggests, uses machine learning to detect unwanted elements in a photo and remove them in a way that doesn’t affect the photo in any way. These unwanted elements can be objects you don’t want in your photo, people in the background, or other distractions that might take the focus off of you or the subject you wanted to capture.

When you first load Magic Eraser on a photo, it automatically detects the elements you want to remove (using machine learning) and suggests them as highlights. It’s then up to you to decide which elements get removed and which stay. You also have the option to remove things manually by brushing over them or drawing a circle over them.
