Google One subscriber? So you can use Magic Eraser on your photos | Digital Trends Spanish


Magic Eraser was an exclusive function of Pixel cell phones, but a few weeks ago it was enabled for all those who are in the Google One membership, which allows you to expand the regular storage provided by a Google account. We tell you how you can use this function to remove unwanted elements from your images in Google Photos.

What is Google One?

In case you don’t know, each account opened in Google, which can be used to configure an Android device or have an email address, includes 15 GB of free storage, which is divided between Gmail, Drive and Google Photos. If you receive a large number of emails a day or store photographs in their maximum quality, this space will be exceeded in a short time.

In the era of digital memberships, Google One is the one that offers you regular storage expansion, which benefits the three services mentioned and makes it possible to “create backup copies without interruptions for all your devices,” according to the Californian company.

Annual plans for Mexico range from 100 GB extra to 5 TB. The first may be enough for those people who just need extra space for their photos and personal emails in the cloud.

Google One also offers other benefits, even the most basic scheme, like sharing your extra storage with others, VPN protection, and advanced photo-editing features in Photos, including Magic Eraser.
