Ublur option in Google Photos

ivicaivica

Hi all,

I'm using Google Camera and photos on my Pixel 7a because the combination is remarkable. The photos and videos are waaay better that with the GOS apps..heck, they are even better than my former iPhone 13 Pro.

However, I noticed that I don't have the Unblur option available. I didn't spend any time on the stock so maybs you guys can help. Is it because I'm missing something or do you guys have it/had it only on stock?

Not a Pixel 7 user but isn't this done from within the Google Photos app?

[deleted] Correct.
Sometimes I get a little hint that it was automaticaly applied/corrected but I can't manualy do it to photos.

Here's the answer.

Basically, the tool is behind a feature flag, and you need Sandboxed Google Play and giving those apps the network permission for a brief time so that the feature flag can be downloaded to your app. Hope that helps!

I did get the Portrait blur option but still no luck with Unblur. I'll keep on trying.
