THE popular Magic Eraser feature on Google Pixel phones has finally made its way to iPhones – but there’s a catch.
The eraser lets users remove photo bombers from pictures they’ve taken.

The catch? It remains a Google-exclusive feature.
So, it is not coming to iPhones directly – yet.
However, iPhone owners can access the feature if they have a Google One subscription.
Google One is a cloud storage platform, much like Apple’s iCloud.
It costs $1.99 (£1.59) per month for 15GB of external storage.
Most people use it for backing up photos from their phones.
But it also offers subscribers editing features in the Google Photos app, including the Magic Eraser, a new HDR video effect, Portrait Light and Portrait Blur.
It means iPhone owners can benefit from the same editing tools in the same way Pixel 7 owners can.
Users simply tap or circle objects within the frame and allow Google’s AI to erase them like a professional.
“It’s frustrating when you think you have the perfect shot, only to discover distractions in the background. Magic Eraser detects distractions in your photos, like photobombers or power lines, so you can remove them in just a few taps,” Google said in a recent blog post.
“You can also circle or brush other things you want to erase and Magic Eraser will make them disappear.
“Plus, Camouflage in Magic Eraser can change the colour of objects in your photo to help them blend in naturally with the rest of the photo — putting the focus on what matters.”
Google is also offering free shipping on any print orders from Google Photos.
