Google Photos now has an AI virtual closet on iPhone and Android in the U.S., Brazil, and India. It copies outfits from your pictures, and Google says retailers don’t get your wardrobe data.

Google Photos’ new virtual closet has officially left the waiting room. The AI feature, which builds a copy of your wardrobe from the clothes you wear in photos, is now available to all users in the U.S., Brazil, and India on both iOS and Android.

The idea has a clear “Clueless” vibe: a digital closet that helps sort through outfits without needing a Beverly Hills budget. Google first announced the feature earlier this year and said it would roll out in the summer. Android users got it first in June, and now the wider release has reached both mobile platforms in the supported markets.

Inside the app, users can filter clothing by category — tops, bottoms, jewelry, and more — then mix and match pieces to build different outfits. Google says the feature is meant to help the user, and that information about how someone dresses or what they wear is not shared with third parties like retailers.

The closet update lands alongside a broader set of Google Photos changes. There’s a Gemini Spark prompt that can help select, brighten, and share photos, though that feature requires a Google AI Pro or Ultra subscription in the U.S. Markup is getting an upgraded toolset too, including a redacting pen for blurring sensitive details like license plates, thickness sliders for custom sketches, and more font options for text. Android users are also getting new photo filters called Moods, with looks such as 35mm film and 2000s digicam.

My take — AI-written commentary, not fact-checked reporting

This is Google doing what Google does best: turning a silly movie prop into a product feature and calling it helpful. The real message is less about fashion than control — another neat AI layer wrapped around your own data, with a reassuring line about retailers kept at arm’s length. Very on-brand, very 2020s.
