No More FOMO

Google has just unveiled a game-changing AI feature that lets photographers seamlessly add themselves to group photos, no more awkward outstretched arms or bulky tripods needed! The “Add Me” tool, revealed at the Made By Google event in California, uses AI to merge two photos, ensuring even the photographer gets in the shot. (finallyy!)

This exciting feature is part of Google’s new Pixel 9 smartphone series, which comes packed with AI-driven tools to take your photography game to the next level. As Google put it, “There’s always that one person left out as the photographer. With the Add Me feature, everyone gets in the picture — no extra gear or help needed!

The company has unveiled its lineup of four new smartphones—Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold—along with new apps, services, and AI features.

How Does “Add Me” Work?

The “Add Me” feature on Pixel 9 makes group photos super easy by ensuring no one, including the photographer, is left out. Here’s how it works:

First, you take a picture of the group without yourself in it. Then, snap a second photo where you’re included, either a quick selfie or someone else clicks it for you. The Pixel 9’s AI steps in, blending the two photos seamlessly so it looks like you were in the group shot all along.

The AI matches lighting, angles, and backgrounds to make sure the final image looks natural—no awkward edits or mismatched shots. It’s a quick, effortless way to get everyone in the picture without needing a tripod, selfie stick, or asking a random passerby to help out.

Part of Google’s latest AI-driven tools, “Add Me” takes the hassle out of group photos, making sure every moment is captured with everyone in it. Simple, smart, and perfect for those memories you don’t want to miss!

You can also follow the steps below:

  • Take a group photo.
  • Switch places with someone else who was in the picture.
  • Have the second photographer tell you where you should stand in the photo, based on the directions in the viewfinder.
  • Have the second photographer take another picture.
  • Use Add Me to seamlessly stitch together both takes, using AI and augmented reality.

The Maker’s POV

Sebastian Rodriguez, a senior product marketing manager for Google Pixel Camera stated, “Think of Add Me like a camera coach that guides you as you frame your photo and get it aligned. It’s not just group photos that sparkle on Pixel 9 cameras. You can do a lot more thanks to the phone’s magical editing features, powered by AI.

The Google Pixel 9 with its “Add Me” feature is seriously next-level. No more awkward selfies or FOMO on group pictures because you’re the one behind the camera. This AI-powered tool makes it super easy to include yourself in every photo without needing a tripod or asking a random stranger for help.

Perfect for squad pics, family moments, or even travel shots, it keeps things simple while giving you clean, natural-looking photos. Pixel 9’s got your back, making sure no one’s left out of the fun. In the end, it’s all about capturing memories the easy way!

Don’t forget to use this feature next time you go out with your friends and family!
