Yesterday, we reported on a new bug that popped up for the Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro devices. The bug was making it impossible for users to use the Magic Eraser feature. But not anymore as Google has issued a fix.
Recently, users took to Twitter and Reddit to report on a new bug that was causing the Google Photos App to crash whenever they tried to use the magic eraser functionality. The issue seemed to be caused due to a recent update to the Photos App. Google has reacted fast to the complaints and has issued a new update to fix the issue.
In a post on the Official Google Account on Reddit, the company wrote, “Thank you for your patience and bug reports. Starting today, we are rolling out a fix, so please update to the latest version of Google Photos (5.76.0.426251772 or higher) in the Play Store.”
For those unaware, Magic Eraser is one of the key features in the Pixel 6 devices which uses the machine learning capabilities of Google’s new Tensor processor and enables users to remove unwanted objects or people from their photos.
So updating the app will now fix the issue in devices that have been plagued by this bug. The abundant bugs faced by Pixel 6 series users ever since its release have many believing that the company simply doesn’t care enough to polish and optimize before releasing a new update. However, the quick fix comes as a reassurance that maybe not all bugs in the new Tensor SoC equipped devices are caused due to neglect by the search giant.
Despite being all over the news for various bugs and issues, the Pixel 6 series still appears to be the most popular Pixel device yet as Google’s CEO Sundar Pichai recently announced that the Pixel 6 series has set an “all-time quarterly sales record.”
