At a time when more and more companies are integrating artificial intelligence into their products, Microsoft has a clear lead. From Copilot, an AI-based chatbot, to a new AI-powered File Explorer, the list is endless. And now, Microsoft has added a Magic Erase feature to OneDrive on Android.
First reported by Android Authority, the AI-driven Magic Erase feature strings were spotted in Microsoft OneDrive v7.1 beta 1.
As per the information deduced from the strings, Magic Erase comes with an Auto Apply feature, which ensures that changes are automatically saved. Besides, there will also be a warning highlighting that this is an AI-powered feature and some changes may not be perfect.
The exact warning reads, This feature uses AI to infill the removed area and may not be perfect or what you expect. If you find the results to be unexpected, please send us feedback.
Google Photos has had a similar Magic Eraser feature for over a year now, and it is pretty refined. Magic Eraser allows you to quickly remove unwanted object(s) from the picture in one go. Google’s feature also provides quick suggestions about clearing undesirable objects and people from the photo.
Last month, Microsoft added an AI-powered eraser in Windows Photos, the native image viewer on Windows PCs. So, we expect the AI-driven Magic Erase to make its way to the stable version of OneDrive on Android soon. As for iOS, there’s no official confirmation so far.
